The Ackerman would have been the biggest cure.

Nice to see someone else that likes ramblers. Had a 60 rambler ambassador early in 1964 that’s full a lot of people.

Hey Dr. Doug, Of all questions I'm curious what you use to record your videos with. It works great but I notice that you're using some kind of handy cam device, which honestly seems ideal for the work you do. Jules

I love it. Great looking truck.

What did you use for front and rear suspension? Rear end out of?

Great Video! super nice hotrod!

I have a 1931 chevy 3 window. If you are interedted

Man that's a beast

Spring is to long shackles are to straight up and down they should be stretched out farther . Panhard will help .

Keep up the good work , these photos in the building process is really helping myself and others that are doing their best to accomplish working on their resto without information on how to rebuild the project together except for your video , which is so help full , thanks to your start to finish procedure through your videos. Thank you so much.👌👍

I like the '29 Ford Roadster -- nice clean design. This would be my dream project.

I talked to a guy from so-cal speed shop 2 days ago at March meets, and he said they don't sell a kit without this panhard bar. He said it's a must. My 33 Ford is so bad that it wanders all over the road. I have bias ply also, so it's not even fun to drive right now

Slightly less torturous ride, exactly

Thanks! I've got a 29 sport coupe that I plan on converting to a 5 window. Ive got the rear 1/4 windows from a 30, need to fab up a back panel for the rear window. Super super helpful! Thanks for posting!

Great job but needs paint job .

Do Not Use This Video As An Instruction Manual... it contains some Dangerous construction elements! It appears in the video there are no threads coming thru batwing nylon locking nuts. Also, no washer between batwing Allen bolts head and joint ball. This prevents hein joint from sliding out over bolt should heim end fail. Scary...

Why didn't you just relocate the hairpin mounts forward?

The two tail lights are a good idea.

Your fan blade is installed backwards!

What brand linkage did you use for your 9 super 7 3 deuce hook up

That engineering work would never pass in Australia, .

You can buy shorter leaf springs ( eye to eye ). A piece of 4 x 4 and a couple big C clamps to pre load the spring and stretch it to reach the shackles and they'll sit almost level with the floor.

That spreader bar upgrade is a 100% improvement. Very nice work.

The articl won't play. I couldn't see your car.

great stuff, I have a shimmy at 60 so did the panhard today out of an old tie rod. Testing tomorrow, cant wait.

Special coupe and Wood kit and material is actually available, the strip isnt, that’s true. But is easily made.

Beautiful, well accented black. Very subtle touches.

i know this is an older post, and very well detailed installation. but i do have to point out you never installed the shackle mounting nuts. and it's evident after you came back from your test drive video.

Beautiful truck. I have a '41 KB-1 with updated suspension, GM inline 6 cyl. with a powerglide.

If you were experiencing the tires following the cracks, lines or depressions in the road, you likely have bias ply tires. Radial tires will not do that.

Great video I may just try your new idea .

Great vid, thanks. Question for you, did you end up deleting the PCV system because lack of inlet provision on the main carb.??

Very cool!!👍👍

great job!😎

Looks amazing friend!

Great Video! I just bought a ‘30 with a similar front end. The bottom bracket in the middle of the spring was rubbing my steerig drag link on bumps. I had to countersink and use countersink bolts to gain some more clearance. Your front end same set up as mine. Your hot rod looks awsome!

what do you mean by the 2 middle carbs are the only functional ones?

Yeah, I think I saw that invention in Street Rodder Magazine a while back. Street Rodder Magazine is no longer published. Many of that magazine’s staff now publish Modern Rodding.

Cross steer always needs a pan hard bar! Always! Had the same issues on my 30 coupe. Installed a Speedway Panhard kit, problem solved! Nice ride!😊

My dad had a farm truck just like this one in 1968 when I was 2 years old

Yep. Way better.

If you want that bug gone color sand it out with a 1500 then 2000 then buff it out with compound.and let it shine.

Is it for sale?

Do you still own this car?

Do you want to sell your 34 ?

I would like to see how this set up would look on a small block Ford 302 using a offenhauser 360 dual port intake and what distributor a guy can use on that as well.

Your spring is too long AND the swaying frame problem is common because the modern rodder community has forgotten something about 28-41 transverse spring mounting. It's a simple situation. Please note I said 28-41 only. No Ford until 42 has a Panhard rod. All have them front and rear 42-48.

looks great!

Uncle Doug You should increase the toe in, that would stabilize the front end at high speed.

Great to hear from ya UD! Be well
