    After way too many years of playing with muscle cars, I have finally seen the light and want to finish a 31 Roadster I have owned for 20 plus years, it sits on a deuce frame now, with a Pete and Jakes aftermarket disc brake kit, and ford 8", since its not done, I want to go back to a traditional Model A Frame, with stock front and rear axles, Question is if I have get a set of 31-48 spindles which I believe will fit with the stock axle, what backers, and hubs are the easiest and compatible with stock axles, and rear ? Thanks for the help, and dont beat me up too bad for being with the dark side for so many years.

    Welcome back to the HAMB from Illinois.

    Why get rid of the Deuce chassis? Finish up your original plan and get it on the road.

    I have the p&j disk brake kit. I was able to make it look more traditional without giving up braking efficiency .

    To this:

    Bought a pair of "40 Ford backing plates and modified them.

    Then a pair of Wilwood caliper brackets:

    The drums are fake Buick drum from Roadster Supply.

  4. What engine/trans are you planning to run and is it going to be lowered or stock height, this will help hone in on parts.

    If you're in the midwest and need an A- frame I have a nice one with good numbers for $200
