Lee1977 6,659 #1 Posted September 26, 2019 (edited) I started building this in 2009 built the front axle and then didn't do anything to it for a year or so. The front spindles tie rods are Faline the front wheels and tires came from a 1966 Mustang. The steering gear box and rear axle is from a 1970 Cougar. The transmission is from a 1971 Ford Pickup. The frame is 3 and 4" channel left over from a trailer I built back in 1974. The rear wheels & tires are Ford car don't know the model. The rest was what I had or picked up from friends. That's about my computer will let me post at one time. [/ur Edited September 26, 2019 by Lee1977 3 4 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZXT 2,401 #6 Posted September 27, 2019 Man, that thing is neat! Think that 9" will hold up to the abuse that your Kohler or Predator will put through it? Haha! I'm curious on your clutch setup. How'd you get it to work? Also, what are you using for a master cylinder? Definitely would be cool to run around on at car shows or swap meets. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The belt tightener is a swing arm on the transmission. It a 60's and 70's take of on a 30"s design called the "Power Pup" it's on the internet. I made a few design changes with a lot more gearing then the original. That a 8" rear end out of a 70"s Cougar that had 302 engine. The rear end was shorten to 48" out side of the brake drums. The design had had a few more additions since this picture. I have it apart right now to add a new bushing to the swing arm. The first bushing was just a make do with some aluminum flashing.
