Itching for an "A" sedan...
I want to build an East Coast style A two door sedan. Maybe a 3 inch chop with a five inch channel over a '32 frame. No fenders. Drilled visor.
Nasty multi-carbed flatty?
Four speed?
Whaddayou guys think?Ensure that the path of least resistance is not you...

I like the concept, but if you are going to channel it 5" why go to the expense of a deuce frame. When I built my 27 roadster, I had the body layed up to be 3" deeper than a normal 27, then built my own frame out of 6" x 2" x 1/8" wall rectangular tubing. I channeled the car a full 6", and from the firewall foreward,where the frame would be visible. I used a sabersaw to profile the 6" depth to replicate a 32 frame profile, then rewelded the top and bottom of the tubes. (I aknowledge that it was a heck of a lot of work, and if I had been born rich instead of good looking I would probably have bought a 32 frame myself).Old guy hot rodder

Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
