They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.

I am building a 50 Plymouth Suburban wagon right now just a year older than the one Damon did. I have already done the dropped uprights and am putting in a rack and pinion conversion from Fatman and a disc conversion from Rusty Hope. This looks like it should be an awesome combo. I just hope it goes straight and stops better

I will try to get some pictures taken this weekend. Right now it is about 20 degrees for a high most days and I dont have insulation in the garage yet, so the heat doesn't do alot of good. The frame has been out to sandblast and straightening, painted and the front suspension arms are painted, new bushings and pivots and the fatman uprights and eaton springs are in. I need to get the machine work done to the spindles, king pin bushings and drill and tap some holes for the disc conversion. The rear springs are rebushed with poly bushings and installed with the rear in place but the spring perches are not welded yet until the engine and trans are in place to set pinion angle. This project is only about 2 years behind schedule, never had the intention to do a frame off for a driver, but it turned out to have been hit in the front left corner and bent the frame. I will start a new string for this next week and try to make at least some progress before the spring thaw
