humpty - March 25th, 2006 at 12:03 AM

Its happening the world over..... But when is it gonna be done right, here?
None of that namby pamby bug beam deals.... A Real Rod with an I-Beam frontend!

humpty - March 25th, 2006 at 12:09 AM

Looks pretty good.... The only thing I dont like is the narrow rear track!


humpty - March 25th, 2006 at 12:30 AM

Ive see it done before, but it does look good on the Rod!

namby pamby bug beam deals are all that they want to register over here Simon...
A couple of guys have looked in to the I beam set up here and the word is, "Suspension PRE-Dates the build of the car" so No GO...
Later suspension (eg Mitsubishi L300) might make it through, but they are bulky and not real pretty...
Perhaps indipendent double A arm might be the go if you really want to do away with bug suspension..
The I beams do look COOL though hey....!!!


humpty - March 25th, 2006 at 01:26 AM

LOL!.. I hought that would get a reply from u Danny! He, he!
Yeah I know the problems, believe me!
No one out there could justifiably say that the I-Beam would have superior handling than the OEM set-up a VW either.... But it sure would be nice to do it!

I wonder if we could do one if we built an entirely new chassis? Prolly not cause it would still be based on the VW drive train components.... HiTek style front ends don't do it for me so thats out... There has to be a way around this dilema!

So hows your rod coming Danny?

Those rims are classic hotrod fare... The are Kesley Hayes Repop's of standard early FORD parts.... A lot of other cars from that era ran rims like them.... You can get them in all sorts of sizes and widths these days...

Whats happening right now! Dizzle is hard at it trying to get the body ready for paint.... Reckons he'll have it primer by the end of the week!
