Rat rod t bucket full custom

Hey guys This is my latest project. it started with a four speed transaxle and a spare front end I learned to weld this week so I built the frame from scratch(it's not done yet). It looks crooked cuz the transmission is off center but the main rails are straight. I am making this sort of a go cart so it will have higher gearing and I wanted to help prevent rolling so I flipped the front axle to lower it and I'm putting a couple old seat springs in to prevent the weight of the engine from twisting the front end over in the corners. If anyone has information on how to lock these older axles please send it to me. THANKS GUYS more coming soon!

Looks like a cool project! There's several different methods to lock your diff, there's a thread outlining them all but I can't find it atm, I'll look again later unless someone else beats me to it!

thanks brianator that would be a big help

Found it!

thats great! thanks. i realy like this forum it seems very active and helpfull so far

here she is with the motor mocked up

and now the tub! Just need to decide on a grill and I can start making it work one piece at a time

That's going to be wild! How long until you think you'll be able to take it for a test run?

probly be at least a month. i have so many projects. the main thing i have to figure out is the steering since the axle is flipped the steering is in front of the frame. i will be posting another video about the steering on my youtube channel exhaust sniffers garage.i will link it when i post it

If you want to correct your camber I have an idea unless you already have a plan?

I agree I love this place! It's active but not overcrowded.

Looks good! Nice choice of motor.

Got to think it might be worth making some C spindles because in its current configuration I’d be leery of that weight on the cotter pin. Could also dial your camber in that way too.
