    144523F1-505C-4293-8B80-52FB8EFD0EBC.jpeg I recently picked up a nicely surface rusted 1950 Tudor and a second parts car PLUS a second 1950 parts Tudor and a 8BA bone stock running engine.

    the good car that I’m planning to build/chop has had the frame clipped with what appears to be a S10 front clip.

    Question, what to do about steering box and steering column???

    how much front end drop will the clip alone give me? Should I go ahead and plan on drop spindles from the get go?

    I’m now seeing that putting the flattty back into the car after the s10 clip job isn’t exactly easy due to clearance issues on the crossmember…???

    I’ve got a host of engine options…

    Why not put the good body on one of the other frames? Should save you a lot of headaches.

    Interestingly the parts car is on some REALLY bastardized frame of unknown origin, super scary… the body on the parts car has lots O good pieces fortunately BUT not a stock/usable frame…

    the frame with the S10 clip looks good BUT just not feasible for running a flattie

    Well then, don't run a flattie.
