I did lots of work till Feb of this month, got all the parts etc. Did not get time afterwards, will however start soon. I want it to be ready by Woodward dream cruise. I am assuming the CV front end will handle it as the original car was about the same weight. It looks very sturdy, at least more...

I cant use that as I need an inline pump. I dont use the oem tank. I have found a good solenoid type and another marine rotary vane type, so will choose either one. Thx

Red, do you have a link/pictures of the boltable pump? I could not find any by searching. Where can I get one? Thx

Progress has been slow but steady due to paucity of time and plethora of things to do. I have the cab removed and everything stripped to the frame. I have already put in the beefier CVPI front suspension, so I will be having power steering also. I will be going with hydroboost brakes. The 4...

That was my first consideration. But it will need lots of fab work including new steering, wishbones and will also weigh a ton. The ifs will be a lot easier for me. What the heck, if it does not please me, I can always take that route later. I dont know if can find a good person for the fab work...

Tom, IFS would save me a ton of fabrication and time as this is a bolt on with only a little welding to widen the frame in part. Trust me, I will make sure it will look fabulous. I will be putting front fenders too later.

After extensive research, I have decided to use a Crown Victoria police interceptor IFS for front suspension. I will feel a lot safer than having the whole rat rod weight hanging on 2 studs that are only 1/2" in diameter.8-) I am trying to find a unit locally. I found an OEM 24 V alternator on...

It is a nice concept and cool build. But I need to do a lot of work on it before I feel safe driving it on roads. Here are the issues I need to fix. Some are not critical. - Put new front suspension. This looks weak for a 2k engine sitting on top of it. - Improve brakes, either increase...

Hi Tom, I just wanted to have someone knowledgeable on this drive line to go over things with me. I could not find a diagram or picture with legend.

Thanks Tony. Please see my new thread as I will need help and guidance along the way, LOL

Hi folks, I am new to this forum and to Deuce. I am the new proud owner of this rat rod with Deuce engine. It needs some work for me to feel safe driving it at speed even though it is very much drivable as is. I am not a military person, but a part time civilian physician at Detroit MEPS...
