Hot Rods Hey yall!

Hey yall I bought my first model A a year ago and now im getting ready to start the project. I dont have much experience but thats the whole point of this project is to learn. My current plan is get rid of everything but the body and start from scratch. pull a 5.0 Windsor from a late 90s model explorer along with the 8.8 irs, brakes. If i want to go with a coil suspension and have it set up like an autocross car should i go with a factory style frame ( i can possibly get one for free i just have to pull it out of a giant metal stack in the woods) or should i go with a double Z style frame (around $800)

 

Hope you don't plan on that.Looks like hammered shit.What does the A look like now?

 

thats what it looks like now thats why im starting from scratch

 

Then good for you.

 

this is what my end goal sorta looks like minus the f1 isnpired metal work and the s2k motor that powers it

 

If the body you are talking about using is the one in the picture, that is not an original Model A. Its someones fabricated body.
But to answer your question, you should use the double Z frame and sell the original Ford frame to someone else to use under a Ford body.

 

The Frame and everything is home made right now and its pretty bad and its been cut up here and there but its titled as a 29

 

The only thing model A I see in that pic is the grille shell.
