'27 T-Bucket

We now move on to preparing the car for the conversion to I.R.S.

The old rear end, hairpins, and rear shocks are removed.

We will also be doing a motor swap, and repainting this car. So the front grill, radiator, etc. are removed to gain better access to the motor.

Then the motor is removed.

In preparation for paint the doors, trunk lid, windshield are removed.

Also the steering column and gauges are all removed.

We begin fitting the I.R.S. by getting it lined up properly and in place.

It is very important that the frame as well as the new components are level with one another.

Next the brackets that mount the main support member to the frame can be tack welded in place.

After that, the brackets for the inner radius rods are fitted and welded into place.

Once all the mounting locations are determined, the rear end is removed and the rest of the welding can be completed.
