Dave,

Thanks for the offer, but I am building a very low budget (cheapola) car and shipping on parts from your place to mine would likely cost an arm and a leg, me thinks.

I am only in the project thinking/planning stage only at the moment, as the tudor is still in storage. I have decided on the 231 though and really appreciate the info provided on rear ends and such here. I will be scouting out the local wrecking yards soon to see what all I can scavange as to parts. Trying to think out various parts and even making a workable plan on just how to remove all I need to on my tudor before installing anything at all.

Anxious to get the car here to begin working on it, but it may be a bit before I can actually do that, as we are currently renting. My luck is so bad that it would be just like it for the owner of the home we lease to sell the home out from under us the day after I remove the engine and driveline from the Model A. Therefore, I have to really think out where I can best start before I get ahead of myself. Researching as much as possible at present and will ask many more questions before long.

The highboy approch or fenderless style to a tudor is a new concept for me and takes a bit of developing a taste for it. However, makes perfect sense that removal of the fenders, running boards and apron will cut costs for a truly low buck approach. I am trying to develop the aquired taste for that style street rod right now and have been trying to find as many pics of such as I can. I saw one in the archives. I am not sure if it is ownered by whomever Daver is, but if anyone has pics of a fenderless tudor, please share or direct me to any site where I may check them out. I am working with a picture program tool so that I can try to do some paint ideas, but need a few shots of fenderless Model A's to play about with.
