Guys, can any of you give me the dimension from firewall to center of rear wheelwell? I have a short wheelbase 2x3 chassis with a motor in it I want to see if might do the trick.Thanks!
Not what i need yet....the wescott on might do it if I knew where the firewall was on there.....I have that print. Could someone measure thier body? thanks!
Sounds like you want to put a model A body on a T chassis. Its done all the time.You have to put firewall where you need it and legnthen frame rails if its a short chassis. From edge of lip around firewall to center of wheel wells is 74" . www.aaltered.com
I'm running a stock model A wheelbase, 101.5". From the center of my front crossmember back to the point where the firewall touches the frame is 30". However, my firewall "tucks in" about 2" from the main face of the firewall to the bit that attaches to the frame, so if you are measuring from the main face of the firewall to the center of the front crossmember, then it would be 28". My body is bolted to the stock body mounts on the frame. So--depending on where you measure on from the firewall to the center of the rearend is either 71.5 or 73.5". And that wheelbase and body set-back is the same for all model A body styles--sedan, roadster, phaeton, coupe, pickup, and roadster pickup.
