I agree, the frontend on that car needs work. One thing that might help right off would be to put some smaller tires on the front. Those big fat things look out of proportion.
The twin-I-beam frontend that Ford put on their trucks for years was probably one of the worst engineering fallacies that was ever perpetrated on the American truck-buying public. It was strong and rugged, but, no matter wat you did, it was always out of alignment as soon as you changed the load.
Now someone is selling split I-beams for hotrods (I can't remember if it is Posies or Fatman) and that's even worse! The slightest change in ride height, spring rate, or load ( different weight passengers?) causes a change in camber and it may be different from one side to the other!
That little roadster (above) has some potential to be a nice car. The first thing I would do is torch out all that twin-I-beam junk and put a different front axle under it (I'd also lower it an inch or two while I was at it).
Anybody know what the selling price was?
