    I wouldn't run the clunky junk on a full fendered car that only sat 1/2" off the ground!!!! Guess I should have specified the tubular arms, coilover setups---or the inboard coilover setup on pinched rails looks great on non fendered cars....

    Now THAT'S what I was referring too above. I've sketched some of my own design, but haven't put much thought into it in the past few years

    That Factory Five roadster used ifs and it looks pretty good, but the whole car is built like a race car, so I guess it Ain't "Traditional" lol. But I was familiar with their cars, before the roadster, and they handle like a race car. I like the I-Beam on a fenderless Hot Rod. But then thats me. Now some with the S-10 factory a frames, and no fenders......... Well they cover that stuff for a reason.
