    1939 chevy truck hot rod

     



    This is my first time i just joined. I have a 1939 chevy truck. I stripped down to the frame. Im going to build a hot rod. Im going to use a mustang in the front and 4 link in the rear but i dont know if i should do the rear first or do the front first.

    Welcome to CHR! Glad to have you and looking forward to seeing your project move forward. Getting the front end right is the base for your chassis being right, and everything else references off of that. The 4 link rear simply adjusts to follow the front. Have you picked the supplier that you plan to use for the MII IFS? It seems that Fat Man gets a lot of positive comments here.

    Yep, I'd concentrate on getting the front done, and being sure it's right because the back references off of the front to track straight.
