Found online about the Dago Axle:
"The Dago Axle is a name for dropped axels made by Ed "Axle" Stewart of San Diego, California. Ed was a machinist and heat-treat specialist by trade, but ended up devoting his life to hot rods. In the 1940s Ed started up a speed shop called Stewart Speed Automotive in his garage in Suncrest, about 30 miles from San Diego. Ed collaborated with Abe Kobeck at Rogers Auto Carriage to learn how to make 1932 Ford dropped axles by the drop hammer method, which made them tougher than taffy-pulled axles. The modified axle lowered the stance of the desert racers for less wind resistance and faster times and became a signature hot rod part known as the Dago Axle after the locale of San Diego.[1]"

I miss JC Whitney. I was a big customer back in my musclecar daze in the 1970s/early 1980s. They are a very pale shadow today of what they used to be. 😢

My dad use to get their catalog and I remember flipping through it day dreaming.

I'm guessing the "California Tilt" is what we call rake now?

[@sodakmodelcars]

Yeah, front down rake

[@JDsHouseofHobbies]

@@sodakmodelcars And "dagoed" is pretty much the same thing?

[@sodakmodelcars]

Yeah i think it comes from a style of drop axle.

[@JDsHouseofHobbies]

@@sodakmodelcars I had to Google it. I'm old and remember hearing the term. Had to check.
