Here's another view on a different car from the front... Notice the angle of the shackles...

I notice on your front axle the spring shackles are angled as if there is no weight on the front axle. The picture I've added here shows the angle of the spring shackle that has weight on it. The weighted front end's shackle leans downward from the spring perch to the spring eye. The only way it could be like yours is if the front of the car was jacked up off the ground by the frame and the axle was hanging freely...

Front engine dragster I started a few years ago. From motor-plate back is the Revell dragster chassis from Parts Pack (not Dragmaster). Forward from there is all 1/16th aluminum tubing. Scratch-built front axle too. Engine is the front-blown Olds' from the Revell "Orange Crate".

If these V-12 Ardun heads were real the spark-plugs would be three sets of two, not two sets of three... Think about how the plugs would be in the cylinder chambers in relation to the valves in the head. It's the reason on the real 8-cylinder heads that they are two sets of two... Very nice looking anyway.
