I see my mechanical cutting/welding abilities sort of like the fellow who is out on the end of a limb and is sawing the treelimb off between himself and the trunk. With my luck, I'd do it wrong the first time. Therefore, I am trying to find a step-by-step on some hot rod site that explains fully how to split the wishbones correctly and then explains what do do to make them adaptable to the frame. Is there a good mag/book or website that really explains this to the novice? I am not so much a novice, but I certainly have no experience in splitting wishbones.

I see some universal wishbone splitting kits advertized and I have even found a set already done for about $150.00 bucks. I have no idea if that is high or even if the swap area still has them. Is there any set distance to cut them and how is the best way to cut; sawzall or what? I have heard that cutting them will actually drop the car about an inch, but don't know if this is accurate or not. Do the wishbones have to be heated and bent at the fronts, once cut?

Seems I saw a decent article in Rod and Custom at their on-line site, but it seemed to leave as many questions as it answered about this process. Are there bungs to be welded in place or what?

Excuse my total ignorance on this, but I am thinking of keeping my '30 tudor project as low buck as possible. In looking at replacement front ends and assemblies, this seems to be the cheapest option to say in budget and still have good results. I just don't want to create more of a problem than I am trying to get rid of. Would it really be best to purchase the wishbones that have already been done up than to take on the project myself?
I appreciate any tips,
Huey
