New Legs For Old Ride
Art Morrison Enterprises has expanded the availability of its "GT-Sport" chassis line to include a new design for 1949-54 Chevrolets.
Engineered from the ground up to provide vastly improved handling, ride, and acceleration, the Morrison GT Sport employs a computer-designed IFS with tubular steel control arms and a triangulated four-bar rear suspension. Adjustable coilover springs are used, as well as anti-sway bars fore and aft. Through-frame exhaust passages contribute to a lower CG for improved handling and stance.
As with all Morrison GT-Sport chassis, it is engineered to be a bolt-on installation and designed to minimize any floor modifications. An OEM body can literally be lifted off the stock frame and attached to the AME GT-Sport chassis. Morrison engineers have digitally plotted stock chassis design using a Faro Arm to ensure an exact fit and ease of assembly.

It's New And Old
Brookville offers exact replica all-steel 1932 Ford firewalls. These replica firewalls, like all of Brookville's body components and complete bodies, feature the original gauge metal. The stock firewall is stamped from precision dies and has all correct beads, rivets, bracing and mounting feet. The "Flat" hot rod firewall replicates the original's upper beads and feet, plus a smooth lower section to be trimmed to your needs. Fits any stock '32 and returns the cowl to original shape. Both include bead and rubber seal.

Pliers For Brake Lines
The multi-functional brake tube pliers have always been a favorite with brake mechanics.
BrakeQuip has now improved on the design of this tool to make it even better. Instead of only being able to bend 3/16-inch tube, it now has the capability to bend 1/4-inch tube also. This distinguishing feature has a 10mm radius for 3/16-inch tube and 16mm radius for 1/4-inch tube, which is the appropriate bend radius for tight bends without kinking. The other improvement that has been made is instead of gripping the tube at a fine pinch point, this gripping point has been made wider for extra support so as to avoid damaging the tube. Besides the bending and gripping capability, it also has a straight hardened back face as a guide for cutting tube squarely on the vehicle. Part number BQ402 is designed to work efficiently, securely, and accurately in tight spaces. This product is hardened for long life and has a cushioned handle.
