    Evening all.

    I’m looking for inspiration on the build of my first early Ford. It’s a ‘29 Model A and I would love to see some shots of your traditional rolling frames.

    I will be running a ‘40 rear end with spring mounted behind and torque tube, dropped model A front axle with unsplit wishbones, 8ba flathead and ‘37 trans. F1 crossmember, pedals and m/cylinder.

    The plan is currently to run it as a chopped and full fendered car.

    What cool things have you done with your rolling A frames, please? I’m interested in all the detail I can get to help me on my way.

    Thanks,
    LT
