Das Auto Gasser build . Slant Six VW bug
Dolmetsch:
I made and tacked in the lower spring pockets or locators. You can also see one of the "Feather Links" I made. This bolts to the normal Mopar pinion snubber bolt with a 8 inch length of 3/16" flatbar which is welded to a length of 1/2" .120" wall tubing which has a 1/2heim joint attached at the far end. That end fits into double bracket on the ladder bar. This prevents any lateral movement of the rear end while allowing full suspension operation. There is one bar per side of course. My design as far as I know.

Dolmetsch:
I made the other side link today. I like the design. Suspension still has full flex but rear end is positively located by the triangulated "featherlinks" which have enuf flex to allow suspension to remain "live". I have had a steady procession of people stopping by to look at the project. Seems to be a lot more interest then I would have thought. So many visitors I am not getting enuf done.

An old friend was cleaning out his garage today and found a set of Mooneyes headlights from his old gasser project. He donated them to mine. A few minutes of measuring and trimming and here they are. He also gave me a set of old but excellant condition oil shocks which are perfect for there rear of this gasser.
Dolmetsch:
