    Definitely gonna follow this build! I've got my mind set on either a 46 Pontiac Streamliner or 47 Chevy Fleetline for a future "lowrider" build. Can't wait to see how this turns out

    I have a few questions for you? Are you planning to lay frame? If so are you going to have to cut up the floor pans? Also is that the adjustable Jaminez rear end?
    If so, I would like you to show how you put it in. I just bought this kit for my 47 wagon. I cannot cut my floor pans as they are part of my interior in the wagons.
    I have to weld up my rear components parallel to the floor. I believe this will allow me to be about 1-1.5” off of the ground with my frame. Trying to figure this out - my frame is totally stripped, body off. Sounds like I should through a block in the frame to figure out the angle so I can figure out my break end angle.
    Thanks for any help,

      Mine is just the 2 link rear, I don't think it's the adjustable type. My floors aren't great, so I'll likely be needing to do some floor work anyway. Yes, my plan it to try to get it to lay frame. I haven't yet pulled the body off the chassis yet, but when I do, I'll be documenting the entire process, so make sure to subscribe if you haven't already. Let me know if you have any other questions! Thanks!

    If your going with 400-600 hp would you recommend this rear set up over a four link?

    • @ClassicNation
      @ClassicNation  4 роки тому

      Honestly, with that much power, I think you'll be better off with a 4 link.
