No I didn't.... But I really don't know what the weight is on that car.... I'm Guessing close to 4000lbs I'm sure..... So If it can handle the weight of that car I'm sure They are strong enough..Believe me !!!! I will put them through the test !!!!

They looked to be 1-1/4'' outside to outside...

I just looked them up... Look to weigh around 3500 lbs..

I think it's pretty cool looking, great to know that you did all yourself. There is not many can say that.

Thanks !!!! That's the best part of doing one yourself... There is only one like it ,,and you made it.... So far I'm the only one that has ever touched this car..

Not to sure if the ones checking this c-cab build saw this one I also did...
New Homemade Ratrod In The Making!!!

It is a cool build also.....

Also check out my friend Cboy's build's here at hotrodders...
Great car builder as well...

Oh yea! I am not usually a fan of these, but a Big Block and hanging low, I LIKE IT!

very nice looking truck.

Thanks... I want to start working on the c-cab or my Coupe so bad.... But everything's been on hold for now with my wife down.... She's about to start back at work soon..... Just trying to stay a float for now..... Things are tough all over for everyone.... But it will come around.... Can't lose faith at this point.... This c-cab should have been done by now.....

I've always thought C-cabs looked way cool, This one takes them to a new level. Thanks for sharing with us.

If there are any who hang out here maybe they would be kind enough to correct me if I'm wrong.

You're mixing mathmatics here.
1.61x is the golden ratio or "phi" not Pi (which is 3.14x). Supposedly the Parthenon and many other historical rectangular things are based on this principal (including some historical US monuments, the Mona Lisa and the Great Pyramid). Devise a rectangle that can be split into unequal halves, one half being a perfect square, and the other half being proportional to the entire rectangle. That is the golden rectangle. It's interesting, and can be useful for things with 90* corners and the Pentastar logo.

That C Cab kicks butt...it looks perfect

Sorry;

Ive been around the engineers too long I think.

There's a theory that says if you build a structure that uses the ratio of phi ("fi")1.61:1; it will be better looking. People cite this because several of the most famous buildings, songs, and paintings use this 'golden ratio'.

my favorite ratio was always 36-24-36 but whatever LOL

You do amazing work, your eye for proportion, lines and the ability to take something so complicated and strip it down and it still looks finished...is impressive. Its guys like you and Dewey that show what hot rodding is all about.

Thanks..

I do understand what your saying..

I too have been around a lot of engineers...CHASSIS ENGINEERS !!!! If you read here you will see what I'm talking about... Making A Willys Frame !!!!!!!!

As far as I know now,, This frame is the home of a Blown fuel injected Big block... And it didn't break in half yet !!!!!
