I used spring over Don, a bit safer than spring behind plus i didn't want a long wheelbase

you can see it in this pic

Steve, that's good to hear. Did you use that threaded bung in the side to screw perches into, or did you put the spring over the axle? I am on the fence if I want the front suicide or regular so far. I won't know until I get them and mock it up both ways. I ordered a couple of Ford tie rod ends too. Normally, I use rod ends, but still trying for the "survivor" look on this one, so they rod ends might have looked too current.

I saw a neat coupe on TV, owned by the guy who owns Dynamat. It is a brand new body, but everything on the car was done to look old. He used 5 different kinds of acid to age the parts, even the copper tube radiator hoses were as green as the Statue of Liberty. The suspension was painted white, but had rust spots peaking through around bolts and where holes where drilled. I liked it a lot. Like I said in the beginning, my rpu won't turn everybody on, but it's going to be a lot like the Dynamat car, maybe rougher.
