This video is part of the series of the introduction of a new toy (a 1923 Ford Model T "Bucket T" or "T Bucket" hot rod) I picked up and having to do some re-repair work on top of what the previous owner tried to do on the solid tube 4 inch drop axle. The fix involves sleeving with a 0.250" wall tube slug and MIG butt welding and plug welding (rosette welding) the halves back together. Also trying to replace some broken parts like the radius rods aka hairpins aka wishbones to remedy the death wobble. The Ackerman angle will also be addressed by replacing the steering arms in an attempt to improve the alignment.
