The chassis and all mechanical looks good to me. I'd prefer an I-beam front axle since it has hair-pin radius rods, but I like the greaseable tie rod ends used at the rear of the front radius rods (open spherical rod ends wear out too fast). I expect they're off a heavy car or a truck, so they're beefy enough for this use. With a tube axle and hairpin radius rods, the front axle then makes a rather stiff front anti-roll bar. An I-beam axle isn't very stiff in torsion, so the cornering should be better if it were an I-beam. Either way it looks like a fun 30/31 Model A hot rod. Nice enough to be proud of but not so show level that driving it would be a stress session. The next step simpler than hand crank windows is no side windows at all.", "likes": 2, "timestamp": 1645301663, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 7947732, "authorName": "mike_rockwell", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/mike_rockwell/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "A new, traditional/old look hot-rod RPU.
