I’ve been wanting to build a Tom Daniel’s show rod but without the expensive purchase. Soooo, I’ll build my own show rod!

Z’d frame (blocks will be shaped), chopped pickup bed and roof, crazy wheel/tire combo and a double blower Olds engine. Should be easy, right?

If you have one use the chassis with the suicide front end from the AMT 23 T roadster or tall coupe - the chopped coupe, fruit wagon etc. The T is easy to Z

I have added a Z to the back of a 29 Chassis

 I will put up a pix of the AMT T chassis when I find it

Hell Yeah! I agree with bill-e-boy, a suicide front suspension would look more at home on a show rod, pretty much all of them have them (straight axle ones at least).

Instead of a perched support, I’m doing a variation of this elliptical front suspension and drop axle. IMG_1222.jpeg.05ae0e2efd872fe67179250b9ec9e687.jpeg
