Technical Photos of Fenderless Model A Tudor on Model A frame?

I tried several searches here and on the 'net in general but really didn't find many photos of Model A Tudor sedans on Model A frames.

I'll be picking up my new victim tomorrow morning and have already been building it in my head. I could/would probably do a frame kickup in the rear to lower it, but nothing radical. Fairly tame in the front too with a 4" dropped axle, reverse eye spring and, and possibly use the 1" drop front crossmember that I happen to already have.

So-o-o....if you have any photos of a fenderless A sedan, please post them up. If I just didn't use the right search words and phrases I'd appreciate you pointing me in the right direction.

Thanks, in advance.

5" Chop

 

Built and sold this a few years ago.

 

That's nice! Your car? Have any more photos or perhaps a build thread or info on the chassis and suspension? That's a '28/29 grill shell, isn't it? How many inches of chop?

My list of questions could go on but I'll quit at that. Love it!

. . . I can't seem to get it in one posting . . .

 

Stan Back, Thank you VERY much for the additional photos of your A sedan. That is a really well proportioned car. At the risk of being a copy-cat, it will almost certainly be the poster child for my project. I hope that's OK with you. Remember, "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery".

I'm guessing the rear spring is something in the neighborhood of a 35' to '40 vintage? Also, the steering box is kind of hiding behind the motor mount, but it appears to maybe be a Vega box? Maybe it's just photo distortion, but is the frame pinched a bit in front of the firewall to run parallel with the hood sides?

I'm not a parts hoarder but it's surprising how many parts I already have around my shop that will fit right into building a similar A sedan.

. . . that's all over 30 years ago, so my recollection ain't so good. My friend Al Simon built the chassis -- as with my Bonneville roadster 10 years or so later. I had redone the chassis a couple of times, even replaced it, but by the time came to go to Bonneville, I needed help again. We set 9 Bonneville and El Mirage records, so that worked out, too.

 

My work in progress.... for a long time......

 

Any more fenderless Model A Tudor example photos?

The picture fits the criteria.

 

This one does too.

 

One more- not my picture.

 

My 31 has a 5'' kickup in the rear and 2''in the front with a 4''drop axle.
