29 Model A, parts box build
by Robert81 Sun 26 Jul 2009, 2:14 am
I started with this.
I used a scratch built frame I had left over from another project. I cut two slots in the back of the cab for the frame rails, removed the poorly chopped cowl, glued the frame to the floor, and used the frame to align the cowl to the body. Cut up a piece from the parts box to use as the suicide axle mount.
Built motor mounts for the 57 Ford Y-block, slit the front wishbone, shortened a 48 Ford torque tube, and fitted the wheels to axles.
It still needs more work.
