New Guy Here... I need some advice
Hey everyone, I just joined this site in hopes to get some help in building my car.
First of all, let me tell you guys a little about the car itself.
Its a 1929 Chevrolet 4-dr Sedan. It is basically all disassembled, but there is no front suspension. The body is all rotted wood, and I dont know if I should use it or not. I was thinking to build the frame the way I want, and then buy a early 30's truck body and mount it on there. I want it really stripped, almost rat rod style.
My biggest question is about the front suspesion. I was want to find a drop axle and use a horizontal leaf spring setup (sorry I dont know the correct terminology.) What cars should I buy these parts from? Do you guys have any advice to help me with my project. Any advice on what to do about the body?
