    Will rear model T spring make the car sit lower than a rear model A spring on a stock A-frame?

    Just got done dumping that banger motor out of your roadster, into my roadster. It was pretty much peeling out as soon as I hit the key!

    Your roadster is perfect. My next hot rod will be something like this. Bare bones 40's style. Keep it simple...
     
  14. No decoder ring needed, I'm sure it when down something like this:

    Chris, casually talking to friend "I'm thinking about maybe selling my 33 5-window coupe?"

    Friend "I got a buddy who wants one really bad, and is willing to pay good money"

    Chris "Uh....ok.....? but if I was going to sell it, I would want $**X amount"

    Friend, all ready on the phone to his buddy "He'll take it!"

    Chris "Did I just sell my coupe?"

    I think Chris was talking about this hand shake last night when he PM'd me. He could have been blitzed and probably should have not told me about it but..... I was thoroughly disgusted to say the least.:D:D:D

    Chris, You had me going. I was thinking you were selling the "A" Coupe ! It was a great relief that it was the '33 ! Your "A" Coupe is just set up perfectly. It hits the mark on the era you built it to. Looking forward to any other work you do on the coupe.
