Hot Rods 1930 Model A HotRod build questions and advice

Did you buy this car in Gillispie? My friend's co-workers dad had this car i believe. Great car!

 

That's a good number. Go to DMV and just transfer it to you.

 

I just finished my coupe build (well, it's never finished) and I went with a Brookville frame. It made life so much easier. If you have the funds I would go that route. Check out my build thread and feel free to ask any questions along the way. I'm happy to help and good luck.

 

if you have 90% of the original parts use 'em. build a hopped up banger, juice brakes, dropped axle, t spring. the cheapest and coolest way to go.

 

Yes i did , Tim is a good guy to deal with . Hell he even delivered to me .

 

Thats kinda my intent ( with quality parts) and details .

Im trying to figure out my front and rear suspension . What works ?

 

Is the 9" Ford out of a lincoln a good choice for this build. I found 2 fairly close to me 1 is drum the other is disc , both lincolns and 63" drum to drum faces. $200 and less

 

What should i be gathering up to do the front suspension also ? I havent a clue where to start . Ive seen so many different setups .. I would like to do disc brakes on front though.

 

if you're gonna run a v8 then a 9" will be great, if your gonna build a banger run a banjo. you could run your stock rear with juice drums. it's a light car drum/drum works great. 40ish juice stuff is what to look for.

 

I have some 40' Juice brakes, spindles, wishbones for sale.

 

Well its been a little while just wanted to let ya know where my 31 stands at this time , got along way to go but i have got quite abit done to . Im happy at this point .

 

Well made some progress today , had a very good friend come down from Bloomington Illinois this morning 7am we started and ended around 7:30pm.

We got the 31 chopped 4"s It went as planned and was a very good day . It was a 1st for both of us . I still need to do finish welds and pie cuts here and there . But i think its very cool now . Gave this ol rod character. Here is a couple pics , please feel free to throw in ideas or suggestions for the details in finishing this chop up. If you have pics or leads to threads please do submit them to this thread .
