It looks like a tank sat on it
It is neat

Agreed (thank you 3dAangus).The purist are only intermittently annoying, but never a lynch mob, or at least, not on this site.
Your point is well taken however.
I would find it very difficult to believe that any man could not appreciate the beauty and labor of love you put into that machine. It would have to be an award winner for sure but I'm not sure of the category.
Thanks again. I used WW2 semi-gloss from gillespie coatings. Looks good but not as durable as I'd like, I should have added a hardner when I sprayed it. I understand what your saying about the springs. But I believe they are correct. If they were reversed the long main spring would be on top of the pack thus, holding all the weight. The only way the lowers could be stretched and used. Would be buy placing all the tension on the spring clamps holding the main to the shorter leafs underneath. In a standard auto all weight is pushed down thru the main leaf, to the shorter support leafs. This setup is a little different because gravity is trying to pull the body away from the axle. As opposed to standard eliptical where the body is being pushed toward the axle. At least thats how I figure it. I could be mistaken. It definitely wouldnt be the first time.Really nice. What color/paint did you use? Respectfully stated, I believe your front spring is upside down. It is compressing the short leafs instead of stretching them. This can cause a rougher ride than it should be and the main leaf would want to break (although it is a light vehicle).
Ok you guys have talked me into it. I'll talk to a few friends about helping me get it down there.I think that would be the fun part in taking it to Aberdeen, all the ghasps!
