    Here are a few shots of the "******* Bucket." Still have a long way to go, but pretty excited. The body needs alot of TLC, I will be running a Chevy 250 inline six. I know i'm going to catch hell for the suicide front end:D

    sorry for the bad pics there off a phone.

    I want to thank az/willis for doing an awsome job on the ch***is!!

    We believe it’s a 1927 Dodge touring body. It has been molested though.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:eek:ffice:eek:ffice" /><o:p></o:p>

    Model-a-fan here is how I mounted the perches to the bones. I used speedway perches and made a spacer so I could tighten them down until the front end is set then I will weld them in place to clean it up. The springs I used are stock model A's that I had a local spring shop shorten two inches. Also used stock crossmember so I could save my horns, but with that big *** lincoln installed I may have to C-notch the horns. I tried to save some money and instead of buying flat top perches from speedway, I made my own out of grade 8 tapered machine bolts. Saved 10 Bucks if you don't count my machine time.
