Ok fellows, I think I have the suspension looking good now. I wanted the wheels to almost be at the same height as the arch of the fender then let the different size wheels set the rake. I'm a happy camper now.
Thanks Mathias. Yeah, that might work. I want to get both front and rear wheels just below the arch in the fenders and then the offset wheels & tires will set the rake. Getting ready to head out to the garage and see what I can do.
I picked up this Monogram 1950 Ford pickup off ebay a while back and decided it's my next victim. I'm using the wheels & tires from the Monogram 1937 Ford Sedan kit. I got the suspension lowered for a trial run to see how I like it. Might have just a little to much rake. Or not.
