    Props to your cameraman. He always does a fabulous job. Editing and the final result are top-notch. His work showcases your work in the best way possible. He knows right what details to show in the video and I imagine you have some input on that. Keep up the good work you guys and I always look forward to Sundays video.

  • @TheOldaz1
    @TheOldaz1 6 месяцев назад +3

    That was certainly a "different" way to build a front end. The system you use is much better engineered. Thanks Mike.

  • @tomhutchins1046
    @tomhutchins1046 6 месяцев назад +3

    The problem with the front end was not air bags on a straight axle. Most of it actually looked good. It was no track/panhard bar. On the stock cross leaf there are a stack of leafs and the car hangs on little short shackles relying on gravity to keep it centered on the old roads at old speeds it made for a soft ride but not stable at modern higher speeds. In 46 till ford went independent they added more drop a track bar and sway bar also the spring was wrapped in a cover with a grease fitting to make it smoother. it worked well.
    So long story short they just left one leaf did not add a track bar and for some reason mounted the shocks to the shackles. yes it was probably terrible handling. All he had to do was remove the the spring mount the lower shock mounts to the axle and add a track bar. Everybody thinks the mustang 2 fronts are great but they are actually based on a pinto front and are a little light for a full sized car and have really short control arms. but do ride better than a straight axle at stock height if there set up correctly..
    The straight axle has advantages in an air bag application there is no camber change or toe change at slammed or raised up. also on a lowered car the suspension travel is very limited so would the independent ride better probably not they will both ride stiff lowered. His top chopping and custom work is really amazing
