So far I think I'll use the black 39 olds frame and body. The frame has already been boxed and it has a gm 8.5 10 bolt rear end with ladder bars. My plan is to ditch that and use a 1958 Ford 9" with mono leaf springs. I'm working on getting a 48-54 chevy straight axle bought. I plan to cut off the gm metric front suspension and put 2x4" 1/4" tubing in the front. I also am planning to use a 40 Ford front clip as I'm trading the body parts I don't use to my friend so he can build his. The Ford guys already hate it. I'd love to start with a 40 Ford coupe but they just bring too much money.
