My A-bone with IFS and coil-over rear rode much smoother than this one, and the steering was more positive. However, the solid axle was in the plan I had in my head for several years before starting. I used it for the concept, not the ride.

I was in OPKS when the guy at the main site wrote the guidelines for street rods. Basically, if it's not a pre-49 modified original, it's not a street rod. I had a friend with a T-bucket titled as a '27 T in Missouri, and he couldn't title it as a Street Rod in Kansas. It would be a specially constructed vehicle.

Even though the guy basically "invented" the procedure, his word was gospel. Even after he retired, they still use his guidelines.
