Project American Heroes - Bringing Up The Rear - '57 Chevy Convertible
The Heidt's stainless steel upper control arm is installed, making sure to properly align the housing with identical arm lengths side to side.
The Heidt's triangulated 4-bar suspension does not require a Panhard rod. The Heidt's bars are fully adjustable, 1-inch x .156-inch tube with 3/4-inch stainless adjusters and urethane bushings for both strength and minimal flex.
Studs are installed for later installation of the center section.
The Roadster Shop Tri-Five Chassis equipped with suspension and brakes almost gives the impression that it's already anxious to hit the streets. Every component contributes to produce a symphony of state-of-the-art handling, braking, and performance for the drop-top's foundation.
Rock Valley Antique Auto Parts Stainless Steel tank is set in place, and propped up to approximate location.
The tank will be more carefully fitted when brackets have been fabricated for mounting.
Fuel tank mounting brackets are fabricated in order to be welded to the tank with bolt-on attachment to the framerails.
Brackets are ground smooth for appearance and to help facilitate strong welds.
Edges get cleaned up on the grinding wheel.
With final measurements made, and the tank positioned with clearance for the filler neck and fuel line, the bracket is welded to the tank.
On the passenger side, Doug Leetzow TIG-welds the bracket to the tank.
The tank is removed and holes are drilled in both the brackets and the frame, holes are tapped, and the fuel tank is mounted.
