70's or older frame-over-body car
Hello,
I am trying to build a rod for as little as possible. I am open to ideas. I am wondering if i could just find some crappy old car like a 70's cadillac or any other oldier frame-over-body car that packs a v-8 and then rip the body off and toss on a model a body or something. Like i said before i am open to ideas and remember cash is tight safety ddesnt matter.

a '70's Caddillac is a few feet too wide and a lot of feet to long for a Model A body. as for Safty not being an issue, it is an issue for the minivan full of kids when you rear end them from no brakes.You don't know what you've got til it's gone

Enough saidInstead of being part of the problem, be part of a successful solution.
on small cars yes. but fat fender cars are pretty much the same in size and weight as the donor car. i found s10 brakes work great on fat fender and pickups. a deuce will just need manual brakes...
Time for brakes
