If you are sticking with the stock axle I have some data on the straightness specs and how to go about doing that. If your gonna keep that banjo rear I could help you there too! Heres a pic of my Coupe has a 40' front suspension with a posie 2" drop spring
I also just had the rims powder coated and put on new tires with about a 1" wider white wall
That thing's nice, as I knew it would be from seeing the engine pic earlier. I'm staying with all early Ford style suspension but the front axle itself will be the nice forged 4" dropped unit from CE. It doesn't cost any more than finding an early axle and having it bent, all of the early components work with it and it looks like an original. Plus, the Bell's and other aftermarket beam axles are all cast and I want no part of that. Old Henry forged his and did so for a reason. In the rear I'm trying to procure a vintage quick-change center section. If I do, there are plenty of early tubes and such around the shop to use with it. If not, or until I find one, I'll just use one of my 8" or 9" Ford units. Thanks for the offer of help. At some point I may very well be in touch to pick your brain for some chassis or other "A" info.
