It exists and works in real life, not everything has a solid rear axle

m'kay.

[crazyrichard]

so i'm sitting here wondering how that works from a purely mechanical point of view.... the front axle would be fairly easy to modify to accomplish that stance, but the rear.....

they use special plates if i'm correct

[LAone]

Mechanically speaking the rear would need to either have IRS=independent rear suspension or if a FWD with tube axle rear then there would be plates to move the hub with negative camber. A live axle rear should not have negative camber. I'm sure our buddy here has some trick up his sleeve for the rear....

artistic license will work best.

You could to it with a solid axle using the front housing from a 4wd and modding it so the steering hubs affect the camber insted of the toe.

I love the shakotan/boso/granchan/hellaflush look, but I would never have thought to put it on a '30 Ford. Must say, however, I'm loving this. If anyone can pull it off, you'll do it Frank!

i ended up loosing the wheels i had planned on using and the substitutes werent any better so i decided to go Custom

I'm not sure about the Hellaflush style on a Model A, but that paint scheme is pretty awesome.

EDIT: I see you changed it up... now THAT looks cool!

Wasn't expecting this. Just like in real life, I'd have to say NO. But since its a model, no need to get my panties in a bunch.

Edit: I see wheels where changed. A lot better lol

well that really brings it towards the usual in one go
btw if you like those previous wheels just stick with it and dont let peoples opinions influence you ..
irl i would not want to see the wheels you had on before but in a modelbuild i say yes go for it..
we need new and exiting things to keer the creative juices flowing

Tha colors are good, Lo-Lo, but yeah, I think you did right to change the wheels. Looks like a REAL car now. Them angled jobs just din't do anything for it, but be different. The Paint job MORE than makes up for the crooked wheels! JMHO.

Looks great with this color combo and the Olds Fiesta wheelcovers!

[Lownslow]

im gonna end up flipping this not happy with the fiesta wheels or anything else ive tried on it

[crazyrichard]

stick with it .!

my opinon is keep the rear tyres and try to find some smaller diameter white wall tyres for the front so its a tad lower in the front with a bit of rake .. would be awsome ..

[Lownslow]

its been put away for a while but i put it up on FB see if something interesting comes along
