Building a Custom Frame & Rear Suspension Set Up for a Model T Roadster! - Video 7 Isky Tribute Car

Thank you to ‪@speedwaymotors‬ for being a partner for the ‪@iskyracingcams‬ build series re-creating Ed Iskenderian's iconic T Roadster! Parts used in this video listed below:
Universal 38 Inch Rear Ladder Bar Suspension Kit (Part #91645159)
www.speedwaymotors.com/Univer...
QA1 Adjustable 14 Inch Coil-Over Shock Kit (Part #7215850
www.speedwaymotors.com/QA1-Ad...
EMPI 3897 Pol. Stainless Steel Fuel Tank (Part # 1413897)
www.speedwaymotors.com/EMPI-3...
In this video DT gets all of the rear suspension geometry and placement worked out, once the great debate of what the wheelbase should be is decided on. Then it's time to get the frame built moving forward from the rear suspension! Everything being 100% leaves room for creativity but also leaves a need to figure a lot of the basics out to make sure everything works as it should.

    Dennis sit, thank you for the in depth dialogue throughout this video. I won’t be building a TBucket in what’s left of my life time, but as an old engineer from the steel fab and oil field equipment, I’m loving following along and “looking over you shoulder.” Alex, thank you for doing such a good job on the editing. And thanks to whoever did the camera work on the different stages of this video. Well done all of you!!!

    There is nothing wrong with taking one design and making it better. Sometimes our thoughts are clouded when it comes time to assemble a project or piece it together as back in the early days of hot Rodding. You've definitely done some homework on the pros and cons Dennis and can't wait to see the finished product. My son keeps talking about putting a Hot Rod together like I did when he was a baby setting on the garage floor as dad tool around with the car. Guess that's where he gets the car bug from as his mom says he's just like his dad down to the ever grimme hands .But now my old hands are not grimme any more. My idea is a bit different but still in line with yours Dennis. Be careful and stay safe my friends...God love ya all Merica.

    I love watching in-the-shop fabrication video and really appreciate Dennis sharing the thought process, priority, and order of each move Perhaps it's time to start a separate KZread channel "Dennis Taylor Fabrications" to drill down on exactly this type of content.....It looks to me like there is enough potential content in the Taylor universe to support a network of KZread channels if enough of the right video production folks could be employed to get the content onto KZread as quickly as possible....

    In the '80's I was partners in a shop which did everything for body work to repairs, while my partner & I built street rods, restored cars & I built drag chassis. I was beginning a project for myself, it was a concept to drag race for shop advert. It was planned as a '57 Funny Car, if there had been such a thing. Began w/ a 55 Sedan; turned into a chopped top roadster. Bought the spare motor from a B Alcohol FC, a cast 392 Hemi, Hilborn Injection, & the point of the story an Isky roller cam. I called Isky Cams, since I knew squat about Hemis & nothing about the cam. You have to remember this was the early '80's, trade shows like NEMA were dreams, or not attended by the public & unless you were a big time racer, you just didn't meet big names in HP parts. You bought their parts, got a sticker & that was as close as you got. I called Isky Cams... a gravelly voice answers, "Isky Cams, this is Ed, whatcha need?" I stuttered out my story about the engine I'd just bought & my level of ignorance. Ed proceeded to go non-stop for 10, maybe 15 minutes about the cam, specs, tuning advice, what kinda performance to expect. Then he really surprised me. "You in Oregon, you said. Get that motor outta Portland? Yeah, I think I remember a '92 Roller going to an older guy running an alcohol Funny. Sold it to some kids, last I heard, his health was causing problems. He continued, Before you get too far w/ that Hemi, give XX, just outside of Eugene, a call, here's his number; knows more about '92's than anybody in the NW, maybe the West. He'll help you out, lives & breathes that old iron & loves to help young guys who're interested. Need anything else, give me a call. Writing everything as fast as I could, I stammered out my appreciation for his time, help & name... & it was over. I sat there, mind blown, but racing w/ info as my partner came in office. 'What are you plotting? You have the bigged grin on your face. What's going on?" I told him... GeoD

    I am amazed at how much is going on in your dads head, and we only hear part of it as he talks. I don't know if I would want to hear all of the thoughts going round and round in his head. His "options" talk also speaks to his total vision of the car, from beginning to end of the build. Your dad has remarkable vision, and immense experience.

    I'm not a fabricator, but I've been reading car magazines for 50 years, and the main lesson I've learned is that you use what you have, to make what you want, to express your ideas of what a hot rod should be. That's what the old-timers did, and I wholeheartedly approve of this tribute. Anyone with a tape measure and a machine shop can make a perfect replica with no soul. The tribute is in making your own personal riff on the original tune. And you're making some beautiful music, brother!

    Looks like we found our new Barris builder, great show & stuff! I still injoy someone else working it old school hard & better. From the motor city. My grandads came to this county in 1906, to build the MODEL-T with mr. Ford. And just a note; i would have cut the panel above the gas tank to be removable. Also for what its worth, it seems like you need more outer metal on those bolts, especially if theres a monster engine may break off, on the axles. 😮

    I'll go for the shortest. I spent 6years with the Highland Plating Special (Hot Rod Oct 62 cover car.) This car was orignally was Dick Kraft's roadster. The wheel in the rear was in the middle of the Trunk. I like short the best and nothing sticking out. If it helps the frame had a 4inch extension just in front of the fire wall. It also had a quick change. Flathead powered. Just mentioning it.
