    Thanks Paul, I'm open to suggestions on what might make it perfect? Well, with the exception of those that involve dropping it off in your garage:D

    Originally I planned on running fenders but decided to ditch them. Here's how the car looked on its stock ch***is with nothing changed except the 40 Ford disc wheels.

    Yup, bone stock Model A ch***is. Its on Ebay right now. Now the car sits on an A ch***is that I did a frame height step in the rear and it has a reversed eye spring with the main leaf moved way up in the stack. Its probably 7-8" lower in the rear than stock now.

    Looks great, Scott. Don't move it an inch. Looks perfect.

    I haven't checked in with your progress in a while - you're kicking some ***. Keep it up.

    Looks sweet!

    I the parts that were left on the car look as right as the parts that have been taken off. The full hood, running board skirts, grill look spot on.
     
  13. I actually like it with the fenders.

    Align the flats on the lug nuts and it will be perfect.
