I've got a steel body i picked up in the desert in nevada for free' no doors or deck lid . it 's about the same size as my glass 32 ford roadster I plan to build a low to the ground minimum cost rat rod. i will build what is called a suicide front end, the stock ford I beam will be mounted out front with the center bracket going up from a tube cross member then foreward to the spring. with less weight on the front end i'll probably rework the split wishbones to have more castor. to be stable you need either more more king pin angle which mean's changing spindles and bending the axle (hard to do at home) or adding castor. more caster adds stability to only one wheel in a turn but it is the best compromise. if i use a buggy spring rear(1 spring crosswise I "ll also do a raised perch bracket then extend some tubing for body support and a crash-push bar. the ideaq for a rat rod is to have something other than a 1 800 credit card car, and build it cheap but make it a lot safer than we used to.
