    If I were going to run coilovers??? I'd prolly buy the Pete & Jake kit. It comes with dim's. for install on the Model A frame.

    rear window opening is 11" in height... I think I will chop the sides and front to match... Roughly a 7" chop so all windows are of equal proportion. If memory serves me correctly the side openings are around 18" or so

    UPDATES! WE DEMAND UPDATES!

    Or else I'm going to start posting pictures of my flathead or my T roadster on your build thread!

    Or maybe a bunny with a pancake on it's head.
