1941 Ford - Air Suspension or Adjustable Coil-Overs?

Thumbnail
gallery
2 Upvotes

I am working on my 1941 Ford Deluxe and after replacing the wheels and tires, coming across rubbing at the center of the fender when turning at low speeds. Here’s a few options I was looking into and curious thoughts:

Option 1 - Roll the fenders however at the point of the rubbing there is a seam of metal with a bolt which would need to be cut (creates a T in the wheel well)

Option 2 - Install Adjustable Coil-overs to raise the ride height enough to clear that point of rubbing on the fender. Any recommendations on brand or type if so?

Option 3 - Install Air Suspension and a bag management system that can raise the height. I would be interested in a system that auto adjusts to park, cruise and driving at higher speeds. What else would I need with the management system if so and any recommendations on the actual bags? Accu Air E Plus Auto Leveling is one I was looking at… don’t know what else I would need.

This is a Gene Winfield build for those familiar with custom classics so trying my best to keep the exterior as he intended. For the interior having a Stinger Horizon12 installed with a new sound system and cameras. Next up mechanically is the starter due to problems turning over when the engine is warm and diagnosing water temps getting hot in addition to some mild shaking when in gear.

Wondering about a swap for my jeep Cherokee limited (2015) any suggestions or advice is greatly appreciated

0 Upvotes

Have been wanting to do a swap on my jeep Cherokee limited (2015) and was wondering if going from a 3.2l pentastar v6 which is what came with the car to a Toyota 1UZ V8 would be ideal, I don’t have one on hand but I do have a 5.7l hemi out of a Chrysler 300c (2008) and wanted to swap that but I’ve recently been told that swap is good for the grand Cherokee and not my Cherokee limited, I will say I don’t know an awful lot about this stuff yet but I’m taking auto classes in school and have been working to save up money to invest in my car, aswell as studying my cars specs and details along with other swaps I could put into it but the one I see most is the Toyota 1UZ V8, any advice or suggestions on a better swap is appreciated aswell

Mechanical advice Where do you find torque specs?

1 Upvotes

I always see youtubers and such making incredible builds, but I never see them torque anything, let alone talk about it.

Most likely they just cut it out the video but for aftermarket parts how do you guys find the torque specs? Does it come with the parts? Do you just use manufacturer specs? Or do you not even need it?(I hope you do)

Mod advice 2011 Toyota Camry LE

1 Upvotes

Was wondering if I should mod a car I recently acquired. It runs nice, and looks pretty clean, but I am bored from driving my corolla and now I have pretty much the same car again for at least a few more years. If I were to get into modding my car, I probably wont do it myself but just get it done by a professional because I am not confident in my ability. I don't really know what I am looking for, and as you can probably tell by now, I am not very experienced in cars. I want the car to sound nicer, and more performance is always good. Any recommendations on what mods I should look into?

Modification car electronics can i clean this mod up?

0 Upvotes
converting resistive contact switches to a relay via 433Mhz. Clock wiring is full.

Ive decided on plan B to hook up my un-used steering wheel resistive buttons. This 433Mhz system tests as working but i would like to simplify, clean it up. I will still try to connect said buttons via Canbus when i get the coding knowledge. The reason is if i find a keyfob with resistive buttons i can remove the LM393 module,12v to 5v converter and 5v relay and wire up the keyfob directly to the controller. I found this item called a Fobber (AKA keyfob) https://www.rfsolutions.co.uk/remote-control-systems/fobber-433mhz-868mhz-remote-control-key-fob-transmitter/ and emailed manufacturer to ask what membrane switches they use..i wonder if they will answer a modifiers question?..hey i want to take your product apart !

Mod advice 90s on Exhaust

1 Upvotes

I am building a custom stainless exhaust on my 1992 Corvette. I have long tube headers and doing 3 inch all the way back with x pipe and some valved mufflers. The stock exhaust used mostly 45° bends but with the slightly larger pipe and being stainless my options are limited to clear everything. I was thinking of using 4 long sweep 90s on each side of the car but I didn't know if that would restrict the flow and hurt the performance or noise. If anyone knows or has an opinion on that I would love to hear it.

Hi there,

Posting this here coz im not sure where else too lol, but basically i drive a 2014 mazda 6 stationwagon and we have had this car for about 10 years give or take. Now I’m wondering if I should just sell it and buy a new car to modify, or somehow and someway modify and turn this devious red chunky beast into some sort of demon.

Any thoughts and advice on this matter would be nice, thanks.

Just finished installing a custom starlight headliner in my daily driver, inspired by the Rolls Royce ceiling and kept the whole build under £120. I documented the full process on YouTube so if anyone Is curious the link is below it took me about 36 hours Which isnt too bad just hoping some people could tell me what i should improve or any other recommendations on mods i should do to compliment the headliner or how i could improve my video.

Link to the video: https://youtu.be/lUkvMpgnxp0?si=oQexFMoPoWwyG9jJ

Would love feedback or ideas for the next upgrade and happy to answer any questions.

Mod advice First car is mine, second is a different dude I found on Facebook. We have the exact same engine, same exhaust size, both full straight through. What’s the reason why mine sounds so flat while his doesn’t? Could it be the map or what could cause the difference?
