This 32 Ford chassis we used an Extreme 9 inch diff housing and one of their floater kits so we can run a 10 inch rim safely on the street.  We get the bare housing in and using our own develpoed diff welding jig we fit the floating axle kit, set up the brake caliper brackets, parrallel 4 bars and pan hard bars using Kustom bitz made parts which are all available here on our website.  This set up looks the ducks guts in any hot rod or custom car, the Extreme rear end is quite rigid and much stiffer and stronger than a conventional pressed steel type, OEM style, round back housing.

Shown here in this photo is one of our custom centre X member kit to be installed in an early 1950's pick up truck chassis. Supplied as shown with pre notched pipes and bent tube for tail shaft clearance as well as the rear transmission mount. 42mm x 3.2 wall mild steel will provide the rigity needed for a modified early car chassis to pass beaming tests etc.  Supplied as an unassembled flat pack as shown these are a pick up only item. POA.

The rear doors on this little Morris J we are working on were pretty sad and the hinges were that worn I decided to start from scratch. The old doors were going to cost alot to repair and in the end they still would have been rough, it would have been like trying to make caviar from a pigs ear.  Its not a decision to take lightly as it is an expensive exercise to make hinges from scratch and the doors from scratch and get it all working, but the end result is what you are chasing.  The customer now has doors with a good well planned out rubber seal, a proper stepped overlap in the middle, hignges that don't let the doors swing around and hit the body,a high tensile long hinge pin, inner skins that unscrew to allow panel repairs and bear claw latches on both doors so they dont fly open.  The back window was modelled off the original Morris J van doors, of which incedentally is not symetrical, and it is the shape of this back window that makes it instantly reconisable so I went to great pains to keep it accurate to original.

At this years ASRF street rod nationals I saw a neat chassis on display that had our exhaust hanger brackets fitted to it.  I love seing our products being used in different ways to achieve a good result, well done.

The 38 Plymouth has a Jag diff and aftermarket 32 Ford fuel tank so the old rusty floor had been removed.  To give the floor some strength I went with deep ribs because there was no frame under the floor and not room for a frame between the chassis mounted fuel tank and the floor.  The step down at the back drops down to line up with the bottom of the rear sill panel to box it in and make it resistant to body flex once its all welded in.  This was all formed in one piece, how ever to install it the rear sill panel was cut out, it was all rusted through anyway and required a custom formed piece too.

This pic shows one of our Hot Rod IFS units before it left the workshop.  This one was set up to take an R6 air bag on each side, have full shocker travel for ride tuning and have a total of 5" of drop from ride height.  The problem with conventional coil over style air bags is the limited travel, typically you only get half of this drop which does not have the desired dramatic effect that this design gives. However this can not be designed as a bolt in unit, the chassis has to be altered to suit the IFS unit.  I am running a Flaming River manual steering rack, the Straight arrow model.  Here at Kustom Bitz we can set these racks up properly and modify them when correct geometry requires it.

Shown here is a 4 bar brackets I have designed to locate a 9inch diff with coil over shocks on the rear end of a lowered 1969 - 72 model F100. I use big rubber bushes oversize 4 bar tubes and utilise the leaf spring forward mounts to keep chassis modifications limited to the rear end notch for diff clearance. I will post some more pics of the finished set up soon, it has worked a treat. Kustom Bitz can custom make 4 bars to suit any application. All custom work is done at an hourly rate.

Show casing some of my workmanship on this 32 Ford Roadster interior. This is a Dearborn body, I have machined up and fitted bodyplugs for the chassis mounting bolts, a full height adjustable, tilt, flaming river steering column, custom formed up underdash panel for switches etc. Custom made trans tunnel that maximises feet and leg room in the cabin and incorporating a Lokar Products shifter.  Kustom Bitz brake booster master cylinder cover kit and one of our brake pedal rubber seal kits and I cut the holes in for the guages. Looking good.

This 34 Ford Tudor at the Melbourne Hot Rod Show this year features our Lakes Hot Rod Parts IFS by Kustom Bitz. Stainless steel one piece upper and lower control arms and stainless steel stub axles and steering components. It looks a treat now that the car is finished, congratulations to the owner for a job well done.

1928 Ford roadster ute running a Ford flat head V8 side valve engine and electronic fuel injection. The owner has altered and adapted one of our finned alloy AussieSpeed 5 3/4" strommie air cleaners to the EFI intake. The styling fits in nicely, all modern components on this high tech flatty yet to the novice, it all looks period hot rod.
