    This is one of the most basic hot rod modifications a guy can do. All you need is a torch, a measuring stick, and a tie down strap to pull the bar down as you heat it. A great way for a beginner to gain some confidence. And, if you screw it up another bar only costs about $25 at the swap meets.

    Here's a thread showing the steps. https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/dropping-a-model-a-headlight-bar-pics.813733/

    If the car isn't all nicely painted, I'd just do it mounted up to the fenders and braces. It should fit perfectly then.
