VOODOO EVOLUTION 32R ASSEMBLY GUIDELINE #1 CHASSIS SET-UP FOR ENGINE, TRANSMISSION & SUSPENSION INSTALLATION

SPECIAL NOTE All Voodoo Hot Rods chassis components require fabrication and welding prior to installation. Due to the unique design of the Voodoo Evolution 3 R !hassis" common over#the#counter suspension components ma$ not bolt into the chassis without modification. Voodoo Hot Rods suspension %its are designed for the e&perienced chassis builder" our products do not provide a bolt#together assembl$. Voodoo Evolution 3 R Assembl$ 'uidelines are numbered and should be implemented in sequence. . Fabrication is relativel$ simple and provides e&perienced hot rodders and professional builders with the potential to incorporate their own subtle changes in chassis assembl$ with the convenience of a pre# designed component that can be tailored to a unique installation. As chassis and suspension components provide critical functions it is imperative that in the interests of safet$ the ver$ highest qualit$ welding be underta%en b$ full$ qualified technicians.

()*+R,A-, -+,E ,he Voodoo Evolution 3 R !hassis has been designed with a lower ride height than conventional hot rod chassis based on stamped reproduction rails. ,he ride height and suspension components have been designed for the fender#less .hibo$. configuration" which is considerabl$ lower than a full#fendered Deuce roadster. (f fenders are to be fitted" the ride height ma$ need to be raised for tire clearance with suspension / steering components installed and chec%ed to confirm correct geometr$ and function. ,he Voodoo Evolution 3 R !hassis achieves a lower ride height using conventional suspension components such as a 01 dropped front a&le and .de#arched. and2or reverse#e$e transverse front spring" without the front suspension travel being limited b$ a stoc% chassis profile or commonl$ used short#stro%e shoc% absorbers. 3oth t$picall$ compromise ride qualit$ due to the need for a stiff front spring to prevent the a&le hitting the underside of the chassis" or b$ short shoc% absorbers limiting suspension travel. (f a higher front ride height is preferred there are several methods to achieve this. A spacer up to 42 1 thic% can be used between the top of the transverse front spring and its mounting pad. A standard arch front spring with reverse#e$es will raise ride height b$ 41# 1. A standard arch spring with non#reversed e$es will raise ride height b$ 1#31. An original st$le" .non#dropped. front a&le can also be be used to raise front ride height b$ 31# 01. An$ combination of these components can be utili5ed to achieve a variet$ of front ride heights" however if emplo$ed the front radius rod chassis mounting points and front 6atts lin% chassis mounting points ma$ need to be modified to ensure the$ are hori5ontal to the road surface at ride height. (f $ou wish to raise the designed ride height this must be done when installing the front and rear suspension to ensure correct geometr$ and function of all components.
