Thanks Don,

It's a reproduction chassis with the frame horns removed, and a round tube front cross member. It has a suicide spring perch, and the frame is Zd' in front and a 10" kick up in back. I have a spring behind the axle setup and 27" hairpins. I'm worried they may be too short as the car has a 116" wheelbase. I'd like to stay as retro as possible including a real steel body. So the 1940 Ford juice brakes are a must. Are the rear brakes(backing plates, shoes, drums) the same as the front? The old banjo rearend with the hubs is laying next to the car. I just wanted the old frontend for future projects, I can probably find the backing plates somewhere else.
