Re: Bob Hokanson's Sunbeam suspension?
Sounds like you want to know where Bob got the parts for his Tiger so you can get the same parts for your Alpine. I can't help with the info, but if someone else can't help, maybe Curtis can put you in touch with Bob directly?

Re: Bob Hokanson's Sunbeam suspension?
The front suspension on my Tiger was built by my son, Mike. The control arms are scratch built from special thick-wall tubing. Spindles,hubs and rack are Mustang II. For more info go to [toyzjunkie.com] and click on the New Tiger Suspension tab. You can contact him at hokey@oasisol.com

Re: Bob Hokanson's Sunbeam suspension?
When people talk about "Mustang II" suspensions, they're usually talking about a whole category of aftermarket parts (rather than parts that literally came from a donor car, junkyard, or Ford dealer.)
One place to see lots of "Mustang II" parts is the Speedway Motors catalog... here's are a couple links to their website: Street Rod Mustang II Suspension (page 1) Street Rod Mustang II Suspension (page 2) Street Rod Mustang II Suspension (page 3) |
