It’s a Spring Thing! How To Reverse Spring Eyes to Lower a Ford Hot Rod

Hey there YouTube, AJ here! Here in chapter 6 of my 1927 Ford T Touring hot rod build, I learn how to DIY reverse the spring eyes on my Model A front and rear springs to lower the stance of my hot rod's suspension. I also show you how I make a fixture/jig to do this on my 12 ton hydraulic press. I could just buy reverse spring eye main leaves but where's the fun in that and my goal is to use as much vintage steel and parts in this build as possible! Now that this is done I can finally build the spring packs and mock up the axles! As always, my video is just a guide to how I do things. If you decide to undertake such a project on your own, you are responsible for the results. Do your own research, make your own decisions, you are responsible for you and you assume all liabilities for tacking your own projects. About me: After some MAJOR life changes I'm finally working on my hot rod! And yes, I mean hot rod. Not a street rod, not a rat rod. HOT ROD! I'll be building this as a traditional build but not to a single time period. I'm building a car that would have been constantly modified from the 40's in to the 60's. My goal is to use all parts from before 1966 (the year I was born). Like the videos and comment and help keep me motivated! Subscribe and follow my progression. And thanks for watching!!
