Newbee from Norfolk Nebraska
Hi Hot Rodders, this looks like a cool site with alot of neat stuff on it. I have a 1926 Ford Model T, Ford stroker engine 389cu with ford motorsport jerico 4speed 583 horses. I run a 28spline 9 inch in the rear with 72 pinto leaf springs. The front end is coil over with 62 cobra tubular a-arms and the 72 pinto rack n pinion. The frame is my own home build 3" channel iron welded with 6013 arc weld. i chopped the top 4 inches with a sawzall and a torch and coat hangers. She's a low buget build compared to most standards of today. I originaly built it for a vintage dirt stock car. Tghose plans got changed in the middle of the build with the car club comming up with rule changes against a homade frame. So I basicly had no choice but to turn it into a street machine after that ya know. The car has always worked well and last year it ran 10.30 at 129mph 1/4 mile at the strip. She sees alot of street miles and 2 lane racing lol. Shes sorta like a lady of the night , meaning she looks flawless from across the street, but when you get up close you can see her flaws haha.
Shine's done a lot more hot rod & muscle car builds than me, but I've found an adjustable PV to be helpful in balancing front to back braking. All OEM vehicles use a non-adjustable proportioning...
Time for brakes
