Does anyone have a lead on where to get these replacement hinges?
So the aesthetics are drastically different between 28-29 A's and the 30-31 A's. The potential project I am thinking would be a 30-31 coupe body.
That is a sharp color. Both of your cars turned out great. Who made your frame?
This is very interesting, and informative. Thank you for taking the time to share. Do you have any pictures of the car with that frame?
Did you ever consider using a flat 32 firewall? Is there a reason that would be problematic?
Thank you for taking them time to share this valuable and informative material!
Thank you for sending this information along! It is very intriguing, seems like a similar design to Walden's. I believe Walden's requires minor...
I believe Flthd31 crafted his gorgeous coupe with shortened 32 rails. I think many on this forum would consider his very well done.
What engine and trans setup were you contemplating with the shortened frame?
b Please do! Thank you for contributing!!
Are you intending to recreate a Walden frame? If so that is a very intriguing endeavor. As an aside, the rude, condescending, and internet...
The Waldens kit is intriguing. I do not know if he still makes them or not. I know it may not be considered perfect but is an interesting...
That is certainly interesting. I think with that amount of effort I would prefer doing a total frame swap though.
The material assortment is not as robust as I would like. It would be nice if they had more cloth offerings.
Thank you to all who have responded so far. I may give Wiseguys a call!
Does anyone know of any reliable companies making prefabricated and upholstered bench seats?
Does TCI make custom frames such as shortening the rails? I did not know they offered such bespoke changes.
Very helpful! Thanks for not being randomly condescending. I looked it up, I think the roadster corners are the same as the coupe. Unfortunately...
Thank you for the helpful response. What is the best way to contact either Don Smart or McPherson? I googled them and did not see a site come up.
Who said I have never read a thread on Howell's? I never said that. They do not offer rear body corners for a Model 40 coupe on eBay. I do not...
Hello all. Howell's Sheet metal has rear body corners listed on their website for Model 40s. However, I have called numerous times they do not...
The current plan would be to run a SBC.
Do you know what he did to the firewall, I have not seen much information on how he recessed it
OJ is a highly skilled craftsman and I consider him a good friend. I may run this by him as well!
I wonder how he achieved that engine fitment with what appears to be relatively minor firewall recessing. This car was part of the inspiration for...
Thank you! This may prove helpful!
Thanks to all that have forwarded along helpful information! This certainly aids in my search!
This is interesting, thank you for sharing. How does this modification impact engine fitment. I imagine there would still be adequate room for a...
One of the primary reasons a shorter frame is desired is to accomplish a particular look. Sometimes a Model A on standard length 32 rails with an...
Those are cool too, however the 32 chassis has a certain aesthetic and heritage to it. Hoping someone out there may be willing to build one to...
