Thread: Removing my hair pins - need guidance please

Tweet

Itoldyouso, you are taking my post the wrong way I wanted to stress that:

1- I do not think the 1932 are "special" as in "better" than any other hotrods. I happen to love the earlier year roadsters as well. i know some people out there think that if it is not a Deuce it is Bird poopoo, but I am not one of them . I am no Deuce owner snob.

2- the only reason I asked for only people who have had hairpin experience to answer is because as I mentioned, I already have had two different contradictory opinions, one of which from a very knowledgeable hotrodder who has built many cars - but never one with hairpins type front suspension. So his answers were INCORRECT and could have cause me a LOT of trouble (he said to not jack up the car).

See what I mean?

One question

PS: I understand everything you guys explained except one thing: if my car is jacked up, the tires will be off the ground so how do I add blocks and exactely where? I am not sure I understood clearly what you meant in that respect.

Faith, no, I was just trying to be a little bit funny.......I knew you just wanted to finally get one definitive answer, after getting all those conflicting ones, so you were searching for someone who had done it. I took it as exactly that, and only made those remarks tongue in cheek.

I know you are pretty tough, so I knew you could take some jabbing. Welcome to the "boys club."

Denny, we are still accepting applications and will get back to you when we have made a final decision.


Yes, that drawing is correct. (that moves your application up a few notches)

All I need now is to get a 32 to play with, and practice on for my final exam.

Yes . . . don't forget to practice for the sideways in second gear part of the exam....

I think that what the roadsters like doing most is SPINNING ... I can't imagine drifting in a hiboy (except maybe drifting to sleep that is, while coming back late at night from a long night of swing dancing hehe)...

But wait... Soon with my bias plys tires all I will be doing is DRIFTING )
