Building the Captain.

[RacerX]

I have already posted Captain Popatopsky but i found some of the build pics, and how the working front suspension was built. It is a leaf spring torsion bar combination, but instead of inline the springs go across the front end, the outside ends attaching to the spindle mount on the axel, and the inside ends attach to a frame mount with a pivot point dead center for the straight axel. One strap set will want to stretch out as the other coils up.

I was stoked that it actually worked, i did the same thing on the 59 El Camino gasser.
