Are we calling a suicide front end a car with a steering rod on the front or a car with a suicide perch in front of the cross member. Suicide front ends aren't only in front of T's. Several fenderless cars use them. As for being unsafe, I don't think so. A guy in our club hit a dog with a full fendered 32 chev vicky with Jag front end. The dog tore off the passenger suspension and fender. I don't think it steered all that well after that either. I think the point we are getting at here is don't hit something. Old cars, and I don't care what year, aren't meant to be hit. They con't have crush zones and collapseable sheetmetal. As long as the car has safe construction , suicide suspension or not, it shouldn't be a problem. I would be more worried about a car coming down the road in a whiz bang car if he did all his own welding on his chassis for the first time, than a bolt together suicide front end.
