    Good luck on the awesome Dodge sedan. That will be a fun project. I love free stuff but it's never really free. I was given this Model A two weeks ago. Will pick it up soon. Speedster here we come. Engine oil looks perfect. Gary IMG_4250 (3).JPG IMG_4251 (1).JPG

    Cut the coil springs...Plymouth has long springs, so cut coils ride good. Would assume the Dodge would be similar.

  5. Put a 50 Plymouth bar grill in it and shave the hood and trunk, drop it all around 4 or 5 inches and primer it, you'll be styling.

    Thanks to everyone for the positive comments. Plan get to the brakes this weekend, and maybe drop it next week.

    Don't know if you got an answer on lowering. You can get about two inches by grinding the rivets out of the lower a arms spring pocket and remounting it to the bottom of the a arm a with some bolts, some grinding and drilling needed but no fabrication work.
