Itching for an "A" sedan...

[madgrinder]

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?

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).

A man after my own heart....This is the only rod I'll have in this
lifetime, and it's a '30 2dr sedan....west coast style. TCI frame.
I built it this summer in 5 months.

Daver.

Sounds kewl, Mad. I've got my eye on this A bone coupe setting at a buddy's place......... Maybe I should finish at least one of the four projects of my own that I have sitting around now!!!!!!!
