    Hello. I an currently building a model A five window coupe. I have been accumulating parts over the the past few years and I think I ready to get started. I have a boxed model A frame. A 40 drop axle. Buick brake drums. and a real nice 5 window body. The best part is the drive train. I have a 68 428 pontiac with 3 two setup and a muncie 4 speed trany. The rear end is an old pontiac posi unit with 3.73 gears. Should be a cool ride when finished. Any help and suggestions are apreciated.

    No pics yet. I should have some next week some time. Yes, it should have plenty of power.

    Gee, a real coupe body, while I am trying to figure out which is a reasonable fiberglass body. It sounds like great potential. I often wondered what happened to those tripower pontiacs.

    It is an original unchopped (yet) steel body. I plan on chaneling it 4 inches and chopping it 3-4 inches. I have a 32 grill. I split the wishbone on the 40 drop axle and plan to seperate and mount to the sides of the a rails. I hope I can get this combination pretty low to the ground. We'll See.
