Here are the mods:
The Frame is not bobbed, so it could keep the '32 Gastank.
I had to remove the Brace that goes from side to side on the back of the Body to create some space for the Gas tank.
The Gastank stuck out farther than it would in a Deuce so I cut the 1/4 panels between the middle beadline and the beadline that goes around the Fender, and welded in tapered piece to lengthen the body by about a Inch.( the panel above the Tank is stock Model A but it is at a angle now )
Then I made the back of the body narrower by piecutting a piece out between the other two beadlines.
The wheelwells are '32 but they are modified to fit on top of the '32 frame instead of wrapping around them because of the shape of the A 1/4s.
And I made the corner pieces that tie everything together.
This Car is not trying to be a '32, it will still have the sunvisor and the overlap on the back of the Doors...

Good looking metal work. That's how Henry should have done it in the first place, it just looks better.
