    I hate when people ask how much something is Z'd, its not a mini truck, you just Z it so your frame clears the diff and account for suspension travel so you don't interfere with you floor. You could run no Z and all and sit the car on the ground on the same token you could be Z'd 2' and sit 1' off the ground.
    It all depends on type of suspension, actual tire size, suspension travel, floor height, ride height, etc, etc.

    Anyway heres mine, I've probably posted it about a hundred times but here it is..
    lots of work left to do.

    Dam Side Valve, that's killer!!! Are you selling the "tear drop" style scoops for the 94's ? I've been looking for six of them. Vintage speed has them, but it's hard to get on his web site to order. So I'm still looking. P.M. me if you are. Thanks..

    Vap,

    I have no interior shots of my car at this time. I am leaving in 2 days to go on Vacation for a while and when I get back I will put up a post with allot of detail shots of the car if no one thinks it will be too redundant since I have been driving it since June. I could also include a list of specifics if you think it would benefit anyone. I have had an overwhelming response to the little car and I could not be happier with it.

    As for the gas tank it is an aluminum 15 gal cell from summit mounted behind the rear seat. I could include pictures of this with some build shots when I get back.

    Everyone let me know if it would be worht it to do a post of the build of the car with some detail shots. It would take me alittle while to get the pictures resized unless I learn to do the photo bucket thing.

    Let me know if you would like to see more.
    Tracy

    I would like to see a post on it, the gas tank inparticular. I've been wondering how and where to place mine. There is not a lot of room inside those model A sedans for gas tanks!!!!! Unless you want the original one.

  26. Ditto.
    I'd like to find out how to put a tank behind or under the back seat, while maintaining some semblance of legroom for four people.

    Any pictures off how the front off the body sits on the frame ?
    Did you pinch the frame or is it original '32 with ?
    Does this frame need a kick-up ?

    thanks !
