29 Model A Hot Rod Project - Ton of Parts! Project that I'm not going to finish. Frame is Zed 8 inches in rear, stretched 4 inches for firewall....
This was my first thought on a plan of attack. Narrowing the rear is pretty slick as well! I have a Reilly frame.
I'm talking about a larger Z than Tardel's style. Like 8 inches. Yes, I have seen some pictures of ways through the years on here. Just thought...
Looking for ideas. What/how did you go about running your subframe over the rear Z? I have a 29 Coupe if that matters. (Binger - used your pic.)...
Will be watching. This is by far the best build thread Ive seen. Informative not just pictures.
Have a picture of that?
I was talking about welding the steering column rod to the F1 box rod.
Didn't even cross my mind when I bought this to look at it being cross steer. I'm still at a point where I could go cross steer but my initial...
I just purchased a nice 39 Ford steering column and box. The box turns smooth. I know that the worm gear is the same as the F1 box but why weld...
Not a fan. Stay with the A is my opinion.
I never even heard of that swap/show? New one for me.
Looking good there. I'm doing a 29 Coupe. Not to far away in Chester county.
How about a picture of your dist. area.

For cleaning up all the little bits of metal fillings and scraps on your welding/grinding table or area. Put a red angle magnet or similar in a...
While waiting for the OP to return. What do you mean by "What do you have to stop your Down travel?"
So after a couple days of messing with these old aftermarket cowl side panels I gave up and ordered two from Brookville. WHAT a difference in fit!...
Never heard of that trick but it makes sense. I'm using a MIG but extra metal is extra metal. So far I have only fixed small areas and holes and...
Worked on getting the other B pillar in order today. Made a patch and rolled the indent in it. Welding it in was a bit trying. Chasing blow outs....
Great idea Ron. Maybe I will use my A Steering column .......
Iowa - I probably would have done the same. I watched Aaron 29 AV8 videos and read he left the lip for structure. Dodged one of the multitude of...
Think that will work.
Started to gut the gas tank today. Drilled the spot welds and removed the upper firewall and got the bulk of the bottom side of the tank cut out....
OK so I took it of my table. It is now on my frame. Disconnected the rear spring/rear so I could jack up the frame and temporarily bolt the sub...
Dino 64 - No I have an old frame from Rileys back in the day. Has a 10 inch Z in the rear, swept up 4 inches in the front with a supposed stretch...
I don't seem to see many "upper" firewalls changed? Meaning in a 28-29 the front of the gas tank. The lower portions I see recessed. I'll be...
I'm curious how many of you had to notch the "upper" firewall? My frame is aftermarket and it's looking like the upper firewall will need to be...
Well I spent about a half a day messing with these repo cowl sides. Got them pretty close I think. They are really old reproduction ones. They...
Just measured, yes my wheel base is 106. Today I will be working on getting my cowl in order. The sides I have a repo's. The seam against the A...
Supposed to be 106" Will measure it tomorrow, The frame is from Riley's way back when . Here are the specs that it was supposed to be. But I'm...
