Ford Shogun Build - Episode 6. Front Suspension and Steering.

In this episode, we work on the front suspension and steering for the Shogun. A new plan emerges as we shift gears in an effort to get the Shogun running and driving. There is a lot to consider and accomplish before we can try to fire up the engine, so let's get started on knocking out the bare minimums!

Please don’t let the low view numbers discourage you. This is fantastic build. Your presentation is great, and editing is well done.

[@eyegood38]

@BethanyAuto aw, thanks a bunch! I'm fighting to keep the momentum up and comments like this definitely help 😄

[@pkvillager]

Huge undertaking and you are making good progress. Totally agree with focusing on getting it running and driving first. I dig the problem solving and can't wait to see it drive!

[@eyegood38]

@pkvillager I'm glad you agree! There is still a lot left to do, but I'm taking it one part at a time 🙂 can't wait for the day I get to take it around the block under its own power! The problem solving is what tends to take up most of my time. The research and elimination of options based on parts, available processes, practicality, and cost makes my head hurt sometimes. Cheers!

Awesome video son!!! I feel for you on the finding more stuff you need as you build the shogun. Been there done that, and you've helped me back then. Probably why you're into building the Shogun. But you are one up on the old man building almost a one off/copy of something Jay Leno has one of. The difference was I building or resto-moding vehicles that had parts that were on the shelf. Newer year model parts that could fit older vehicles. I really admire the way you are doing this. Researching, getting down tot the technical and engineering aspects, and making it work. So proud of you son. So when do we get to paint it?

[@eyegood38]

😁 Thanks!!! Uhhhh... paint after many hours of body work =P lol

I always admired the festiva, IMO and experience, i have only seen them working and they have been die hards, even in mexico I still see them around when I visit baja, from poor families craming into them to masons using them as micro hybrid work trucks, my friends and I always point them out. whe think they were built too good so they got discontinued (haven't heard bad stories, so maybe bias) I'm glad to have stumbled upon your project, i'll be following, AWESOME.

[@eyegood38]

They are cheap, reliable, easy to fix, gas sipping, great little cars. I only drove this one a few times before parking it. Can't wait to see what it's like with a bit more power =P Thanks for following!! =D

Nice work! I’m attempting a similar build. This helps so much! Thank you for the content.

[@eyegood38]

Nice AC! Make a GoCart with that engine, and drive it up to Austin for me!

[@eyegood38]

@michaellawson2510 haha, gotta have AC!!! GoCart sounds like the best use case to me too 😁

[@jikkityjek1333]

Braid wheels do some bespoke rally style stuff with special bolt patterns and offsets!

[@eyegood38]

@jikkityjek1333 thanks for the heads up! I'll check em out 😁

[@jikkityjek1333]

YES YES YES
