Default Re: 1932 3w build thread / “freshening up

We've been getting the suspension parts prepped for the car. Since it's going to sit fairly low, the tie rod was going to have interference issues with the crank pulley (we didn't want to do a bent tie rod). We reamed the spindles from the bottom side, which meant we didn't have to drop the steering arms nearly as much to go under the wishbone. We also dropped the steer arm slightly to get the draglink close to the stock angle.

After that, we threw the '33/34 torque tube in the Bridgeport to shorten it down to a '32 length.

Tomorrow, we're mocking up the front suspension to sort out the shock mounts before disassembling those parts for some paint.
