Parts came in this christmas! Tubular coil-over control arms are from Rod and Custom, along with the standard height sprindles. The caliper...
Just messin' with ya. :)
Watts link? No, I'm just going to use coil overs on the independant rear. I think a watts link to hold up the control arms would be a little too...
Thank you very much! :tiphat: I took a look at your pics. You are making much better progress that I am. I've been whittling away at this thing...
Yes, it is an '03 cobra rear. The wheels are stock 17x8 bullits. I think stock cobras are 17x9. I didn't want to go any bigger than an 8 inch...
A little background on the project. I bought this car for $100 and it was an absolute basketcase. Just interior, lots of missing parts, lots of...
I don't believe your load assumption is correct. Being that the bolt is contained within a bushing, and is also pre-tensioned, modeling it as a...
I showed my work. Let's see the goodman diagrams and shear/bending diagrams from the rest of you engineers.
You guys are making a mountain out of a mole hill. If someone doesn't build a car using quarter inch plate, you think it's going to spontaneously...
By welding the bolt on both sides of the fram rail it is changed from a cantilever to a simply supported member in bending. Welding may or may...
Rear shackles don't flex, they rotate, and they still support the weight of the car as a two force member in compression. And this shackle design...
Since he's welded it on both sides of the rail, the bending moment is highly reduced, so it's pretty much so just in single shear, and a piece of...
Mess around with the wire pressure and spool stop too. Get the spool as loose as possible without it completely unraveling. That will help....
Heat gun. Just don't catch it on fire or melt it. Helps a ton.
Just put bigger tires on the back. That's the easiest and cheapest thing to do.
The way I weld 40 cf will last about 2 weekends worth of welding. $13 is hella good. It costs me $25 for a 20 cf cylinder exchange. I'll...
I think that it's time to transfer this over to the projects section. http://mmb.maverick.to/showthread.php?p=668708#post668708
A rotissery with hydraulic lift would cost about as much and be 10x more useful. Just my $.02
I need a bigger bottle. The little guy I have is good for about 1 day of welding and then it's cashed.
