Copy and post a pic that looks similiar to what you're trying to accomplish.
You have to meet people half way (read/research, then know what exactly you are asking)
It will be much easier than having to ask you a bunch of questions.
What's sky high to you?
Stock drivetrain?
Suspension type?
Wheel/tire combo?
Fenders?
I don't know what the plans on ebay look like but, I'd be much more inclined, if I was fabbing my own from scratch, to get the info off of this website.

 

If you bought plans for chassis make sure it's for a fordor
and not a coupe.

 

I just sold a '31 tudor sedan. 3.5" chop and 4" channel. I went with a 6.5" z in the frame, with the channel it still had a nice low stance. Rear seats sat right on the floor of the z. My kids fit but I would say once they are 5' tall that would be the limit with that set up.

 

Lowelife, what style of frame did you use?

 

PM Sent, Pics to follow.

 

This Model A sedan looks great (saw it in person). It has leather interior and a nice back seat. I was thinking of buying it for my wife so she can take our little hot rodder to shows too. Anyway, it doesn't sit high and it has a back seat. The owner is a HAMBer but not sure of his name.

 

I love the vw green on your roadster vern! Everything jus looks killer on your build!

 

Yea thats exactly what im thinking speedon!

 

buckaroo, I see you're from IL. That Model A was at the Iron Invasion in Woodstock, IL this past Oct. The car is from Indiana.

 

Actually come to think of it, im pretty sure the guy i bought my frame plans from is a hamber too.

 

Buckaroo,

Check these out. Sent you an email too. Thanks for the compliments on the '32.







I liked it not chopped more, but, to each his own!

 

Looks real nice vern! I got your email with all your info too, i appreciate it. Id like to subscribe to your thread and some others as well, just cant seem to figure out how. Any clue?

 

my '30 tudor will have a back seat, channel of 2.5" 4" chop gas tank behind the rear seat. I did not Z the frame so it is not as low as some but I can sit in the back and I'm 6' 1"
