    Looks great. I love the look of an av8 with out the fenders!!! You are about as far along as I am with my 28 A Sedan. A long road indeed, but worth every minute of it!! Good luck, and keep us posted.

    I like it. That's my plan for my 29 coupe, only a little lower. I'll probably Z the frame, and stretch it and run the spring behind. The front will get dropped and the eyes reversed. The drivetrain will be a flathead, T5, and 8" rear. Good luck and keep us posted!

    Hey Thanks for the kind words! Working on the body right now, lots of rust repair to be done and sometime in the future I plane on chopping it a bit but I'm not sure how much. I'll keep posting updates as i make progress. Thanks! Chad

    Looks like your running a spring behind on the rear. Did you stretch the frame to get the wheel to line up with the wheel well on the body or is the body moved forward on the frame? Looks Great!

    Thanks. The frame was lengthened 7.5 inches to get the wheel well lined up. Chad
