evilone Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 Ok heres the deal i have been looking for help to figure out how to make a posable suspension for a 59 impala drop top lowrider.I have the rear end done and it is able to three wheel but now its time to do the front.How do i do the posable suspension for the front?If someone could post pics it would help out bigtime.
Karmodeler2 Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 I know that when I build a poseable steering system, I look at the kit parts, and then try to make my own to replicate theirs, at the same time, making mine work. If you go to the home page of Model Cars, go to the left bottom of the page and click on the Atlanta show, go to page six, Dirk Joseph's Chevelle has shots of the suspension that might help. I know his work is pretty impressive and it works. I hope this helps. I also use my real car to help sometimes too....or look at new trucks on the Peterbilt lot. Most truck lots are very friendly and most car lots are too.....or go to a classic car show.. you might find an example of the real thing and can use that too. You can look at some of your kits too that may have working steering or a diecast that you have...they normally have working steering. Good luck with it. David
JamesW Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 I'm pretty sure he's talking about poseable hydraulics, not the steering, but some very good ideas anyway.

JamesW Posted December 29, 2008 Posted December 29, 2008 Ya know Kevin, I'm not sure, probably because I know your style a little too well.

JamesW Posted December 29, 2008 Posted December 29, 2008 (edited) Yup, BTW, hook me up with one of them Impalas, there's no way you could have enough ideas for 'em all. LOL Edited December 29, 2008 by grimreaper
stangy77 Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Check out my 87 thunder bird turbo coupe in the workbench section. I made a fully working suspension on that one The driveshaft u joints even move. You can see more of it at Briansmodelcars.com in the wip section.
