Re: 1949 resto mod new project

I haven't posted in a few days still waiting on the front cross member. I did get a replacement cross member/ radiator support. Here is a photo of it sitting in place and ready to tack in place.
This afternoon I am starting on making my mounts for the lincoln IRS and prepping the frame to accept it. I'll post pics tonight.

Re: 1949 resto mod new project

I finally got in the correct M2 front crossmember. I have worked on several cars and trucks using the M2 front suspension and have had to correct a few that were poorly installed.
I have never installed one from the beginning.
First I have to get my front crossmember in place then move to the M2 crossmember.
I am using for my references 4 points where I dropped plumb bobs from the center of the 2 front and 2 rear leaf spring mounts. I cross measured to see if the frame was square and it shows to be approx. 1/32 to 1/16 out of square. That's pretty darn close.
Anyone who's has done an M2 front end please chime in and let me know if I am on the right track here.

Just a quick update. I got the front suspension tacked in place. I'm still waiting for shocks. Next am doing the firewall before I pull the body.. I set the engine in place to get an idea where I want the tunnel . I'm waiting for the transmission too.
