Default Re: open drive shaft converstion

Hi, Popeye31. Your automotive credentials and Model A experience are impressive. It's obvious that you'd have no problem doing any conversion or modification on any car very successfully. But I'm still curious about what the benefits are in removing the torque tube from the Model A drive train. And, generally, what other drive train and rear suspension "modifications" must be made at the same time to handle the various loading conditions that the torque tube was designed for.

It all seems to be part of building a speedster.

But, again, what is gained by going to all this trouble?

Thanks, Earle
