1951 Ford F1 Build

I got some work done on the rear suspension. I decided on adjuster and tubing size so i began cutting out and weld prepping the brackets. CAD makes it easy and a waterjet makes it easier!!






Surface ground all the parts to get the scale off the hot rolled material. Also makes it look nice for instagram ;)



Gave all the slots and tongues .010” of clearance on either side so they fit together nicely as the waterjet doesn’t cut very square.



Here’s the brackets so far (not welded yet). The 4 on the left fit on the frame. The 2 on the right fit on the axle for the lower links. And the upper link housing brackets still need to be designed but i need to wait until i get the axle cut so the pinion will line up with the motor.
