This week I got to work on the hot rod some more. I got some stainless sheet for the floor pan and have started creating a component layout.
I also made some progress on the front suspension. For the leaf springs I utilized a recoil spring from the pull start on a Briggs and Stratton engine.
Im most likely going to re-do the spindles, and either cast these wheels in metal or try and find some others with bearings. The spindles rub the tire, and I know that the plastic rc airplane wheels are going to me a major weak link at speed, I can just foresee them melting while the car is doing 40+ mph. But for mock up sake they will work.
