Great job
Love all the hard work
Awesome content
Thank you.
Look's like job well done
Thank You Sir !! Thanks for watching and commenting!!
Just thought you can go to the junkyard ask what axel lengths they have a fit most applications.
STANCE IS EVERYTHING
You sure can. I just had this rear end on hand so I decided to narrow it to show a cheap way to get the right width without buying axles. Thanks for watching!
Great video! Just good old fashioned hot rodding.
Thank you Sir !! Take it easy! Thanks for watching and commenting.
Yes, part 2 was well worth the wait! Thanks for sharing, Heath! The results were very subtle, and so classic!
Enjoy the weekend! Be safe!
Thank You Sir !!! Take it easy!!
Looks better to me. Thanks
Thank you !! Thanks for watching and commenting !
Heath, I LOVE your videos! I have a 1928 Model A truck "rust bucket" that I originally bought just to get a fairly straight original tailgate. I've toyed "off and on" with restoring it or building a hot rod. After watching you "demystify" a LOT of the processes, I'm ready to tackle the Hot Rod route! Can't wait for the future videos, especially wiring!!!! Liked and subscribed!!! Keep up the great work!
Thanks Pete !! I was sure hoping when I started making these video's that it would help people with their hot rod builds or inspire a younger person to build their dream car .. When I get to the wiring I will try to do a video on it .. Thanks for subscribing, liking and commenting !!!!!
Yet another useful video; may have to raise the tail a fuzz for clearance, but not much. Thanks for all your time. We realize that the video process adds a whole bunch of time to the actual work. The Model A is looking good!
Thank you Sir !! It really does take a lot longer to complete something doing video's . Thank you for watching and commenting !!!
looks good i dont see any thing wrong the way you did it
Thank You !! I think it works out good.. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Looks good!
Thank you!! Thanks for watching and commenting !!!
Excellent video
Thank you Scott. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I'm getting ready to narrow a 9 inch ford rear-end to fit in a 34 hudson coupe
@@scottryan9845 A 34 Hudson Coupe that will be Cool !
If its safe and it works....its the right way. When you kicked the rear crossmember, where did you cut the frame?
About 4" in front of rear crossmember. Thanks for watching! and Take it easy!
That 1/2 inch does make a big difference! Look good!
Thank you ! I think it makes it look a lot better with the tires tucked under the fenders. Thanks for watching and commenting!!
Great Job Heath ! You going to drive it to Myrtle Beach ? When is Mr. Buddy going to make his appearance on a video ?
Thank you John !! It want be ready for myrtle beach. He said he didn't want to be in the videos!!! LOL
Heath,
A great tutorial on DIY axle shortening. I appreciate you taking along as you shortened this housing.
Where did you get you truing jig from?
Thanks again,
Rick
Thanks you Sir!! I got my jig from Leadmineproducts.com. You can buy them off of eBay. The set I have do all types of different rear ends they really work good. Thanks for watching and commenting!!
Very good job and it made all the difference! Looks sweet tucked in like that. Are you in Alabama?
Thank you ! I think it's better looking too. I am in North Carolina.
@@fullmoonhotrods Oh, I thought you had a southern accent. My bad. I have a friend in Massachusetts who is moving to NC soon.
I'm in Alabama. What are you trying to say? LOL. We talk funny don't we LOL.
Great video on narrowing a rear end for DIY'ers. I appreciate it. What is the alignment tool that you used in the vid? Thanks
Thank you !! The Alignment Jig is made by Leadmineproducts.com they sale them on eBay. Thanks for watching and commenting !! More to come soon..
looks real good , on 39 backing plates are the rears the same as the fronts???
I am not sure on the 39 backing plates I would check on Hamb and see what you could find out. Thanks for watching ! Take care !
Sorry that I'm unfamiliar with these older rearends. What keeps the shafts in place with no clips to hold them at the carrier.
The axle bearing is pressed onto the axle and has a retainer plate that bolts the axle into the rear end housing . I hope this helps . Thanks for the questions !!
Looks good. Good work as always. What was the original application for that rearend?
Thanks !! It came out of a ford granada .
@@fullmoonhotrods Thanks. That’s a hard one to find these days.
@@phillipshotrodgarage It sure is . Take it easy !!
Was that the spring perches and shock mounts sticking down there?
The coil over mount was on the rearend housing where I had the rearend mocked up in the car. Thanks for watching and commenting! Take it easy!
Why not just use a deeper offset back spaced wheel?
I could have used a different wheel but this is a budget build and I already had the wheels and tires , So I decided to narrow my rear end instead of buying more wheels all it cost me was a little bit of time. I already had the rear end jig so it didn't really cost anything for me to narrow it and I thought it would make a good video to show that it's not hard to narrow a rear end. Most of the parts for this build is old parts I had just sitting in my garage from all the old cars I have owned and changed parts on over the years. Thanks for watching and commenting. Take it easy!!
Personally, I'd have used a short internal sleeve, plug welded to each side and then welded up. But great tutorial otherwise.
Thanks for watching and commenting !! good tip..
