Is it a Le Mans start?
in reply to: Dans ‘65 Tesla #62870I do remember having to clearance the shock tower about an 1″ and box it in to make the trailing arms work.
I didn’t like how much wider the track width was with the IRS.
It was a lot of work but I made my own IRS arms out of HSS tubing and narrowed them about 30mm a side. Pretty much the same as short swing axle length. I also offset the bearing housing up 2″ off-center. Kind of dropped spindle style. Got rid of a lot of camber. I bought some bus to bug short axles and turned about 5/8″ off each end. Bus CV’s
I got this idea from you guys back in the day, raising transmissions to get away from excessive camber.
in reply to: Dans ‘65 Tesla #62856Are you going to have to narrow the IRS swing arms to tuck the wheels and tires under the fenders?

in reply to: Ben's '58 DD Panel #58179Got all my shit home in one trip! My friend that loaned me his rig, even rode along so I wouldn’t have a return trip to deal with. I’ll start tearing into the engine next week.
That’s a good friend!
in reply to: Willbur's 65 SO42 #57427Your hubcap game is weak! Haha, looking good Will.
I was thinking the same thing.
Still a very cool bus.

in reply to: Audrey’s Adventures with Home Ownership #56666Woohoo! I am so excited to follow this thread. There is so much potential with this place and I can’t wait to see what you do!
Same here.
in reply to: Audrey’s Adventures with Home Ownership #56633I bought my house in a suburb of Vancouver 20 years ago for $260k. I remember being freaked out about paying that much! House next door just sold for $1.1 million and they tore it down. 85′ x 85′ lot.
Safe to say my kids won’t be buying the house across the street.
in reply to: Audrey’s Adventures with Home Ownership #56620That is awesome. My wife and I live across from her parents. It comes in handy when you need a cup of sugar, tools, money, more food, a babysitter…you get the idea. Congrats on home ownership!!! Looks like you have quite the project.
Your a brave man moving in across from your in-laws! Keep your friends close and enemies closer I guess. 😉
