CarbonNglass Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Ok so I decided to have a go at this model I picked up from wal mart. It's a 41 Plymouth coupe that will become a Gasser. I started with making the suspension. Upon further looking into it I noticed the front end didn't have the height I was looking for. I even robbed from my other kits. The front end is from a 53 ford f100 as is the custom front bumpers that I'm turning into traction bars. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deuces wild Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 (edited) Your gonna need a straight axle....😉 That should raise it up 3-4 scale inches.... Edited January 24, 2022 by deuces wild Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarbonNglass Posted January 24, 2022 Author Share Posted January 24, 2022 I used the front axle from the kit and decided to make shim posts to make it do what I wanted it to do. Not 100% correct but it has the right look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarbonNglass Posted January 29, 2022 Author Share Posted January 29, 2022 I am going to use a 426 hemi. But Im trying to decide whether to do stack injection or like an old roots style supercharger with twin carbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
