1950 F1 suspension mods


my hand made rear & 3 link suspension


The above photo was the start of my suspension mods. If you look carefully at the date you will see that it was in April of 2012. I was going at a good clip and built several more items, Stainless Steel fuel tank & & Stainless trailer hitch to protect the tank. Everything came to a stop when my wife of 40 years got cancer. She passed in 2015 and I finally have the desire to get back at it. I no longer have a shop so am relying on friends for their help with a spot to work on bits and pieces. When I moved the shop I misplaced my notes on stock ride height. In order to design the front suspension I need some info. Can anyone please measure the stock ride height at easily identifiable locations front and rear to the ground? I also need distance to the centerline of the front and rear axles as the tire size effects stance. Thanks in advance more photos to follow. - - Marty
