The show "Road Rokest Rumble" was GREAT!!!
My "T" drew all kinds of attention, more than I thought it would! Everyone realy seamed to like it and some were totaly amazed at how I built the rear Quater eliptic rear supention.I was only able to find 2 pictures on the internet of a rear quater eliptic suspention, so I looked at them, added some ideas of my own and came up with what I think is a pretty stong set up. Took me 3 times of building and rebuilding it to get it at how I liked it. I was so glad that so many people agreed with it. So I was more than pleased with how the show evnt, I was there for 3 days andnext year I'll be driving it there, God willing.

Hear is the first try and my rear end set up. it's pretty close to the final one but does have a few trhing differant, the rear end also had 2 split wish bones on the outside of the frame. There is also a picture of the front end, notice at how I braced the spring perch.

Joe it deserves attention. Congrats on the positive feedback from the show.

That is one nice looking car even if you are not done with it. I hope mine looks that good when it is done.

Thanks for all the good feed back guys!! I'm pretty proud of what I've got done so far, can hardly wait till October when I get bacxk on her. Playing with my Corvairs untill then. Dont worry about the welds on the steering, they are only temparay, (just for the show) They will be done the right way this fall. Thanks again guys and I keep you updated as things move along. I can tell you at the age of 58, this will be the last car I build from the ground up. just to much work for me any longer. IF anyone is in the Indy are and wants to hook up please just drop me a line, I'm always looking for more and maytber better ideas. Take care and Stay Cool, Joe

Someone asked what the frame was from. It is a home made fram, made from 2"+5" steel. It was made to fit the body, Hope it works out could and I " think" it will.
