i decided to move to the rear suspension......i made some new coil springs from some 24 gauge copper wire





this isnt gonna drag the ground like my last 32 sedan, it will be as low as it can go without modifying the frame..

more to come

Bryan,

where i can find the copper wire? I will like to start making my own coils springs for my future projects........

[Dr. Cranky]

Luis, you can find all the types of wires you want and gauges at your local craft store.

Bryan, we need our daily dose of eye candy.

Nice work on that chop. Looks professional. I need to do me a sexy ratrod at some point.

[bryan_m]

these doors are a little tough to cut out, theyre pretty thin along the top and the curve at the "A" pillar.......i almost have one cut out, then i gotta do my favorite thing.......make hinges! grrr! LOL these hinges wont be bad, theyre straight, so not as tough as a door with compound curves....
