    You are looking are around 1000 lbs of motor trans and 450 up HP with big traction it will put a lot of twist on that old frame. A 6 point bar would help a lot.

    Danny, 'dogballs' has a 28-29 hood with small side blisters for sale. Looked for it the other day with no luck, but it popped up today.

    Mines not a A but a Essex Terraplane with American stamping 33 rails pinched and I’d say definitely boxed and brace frame if you enjoy a heavy pedal which they come alive and enjoy. Fun power plant for sure.

  4. I looked back and I didn't specify what year, the car is a 31 tudor sedan and I saw it yesterday afternoon, the car is pristine, it has been restored back in the 80's and obviously driven very little since then. HRP

    I saw the sedan last night and it is the nicest one I have ever seen, Curtis didn't get it cheap.

  10. Yeah, had he pulled the body yet?

    I talked him out of the independent front and rear suspension. HRP
