Hello all I am new to this site I have been tinkering with cars but on a weekend booze cruise in my pickup I saw me one of them 28 or 29 Model A bodys laying in a guys yard. I went up to the door and at first he would not sell but thanks to Coops devil chick on my arm he said oh your a hotrodder. I have no clue if I am a hotrodder or not but if it would land me that hulk of rust I will be it for the day. After some more talking and removing a hundred dollar bill from my pocket I had me that body just the back part but thats all I needed. Well now here I stand I have the back half of the body I am lucky enough to live by a old dump filled with old cars so I can scavage some stuff that can last out in the elements for years. I need to make a frame to fit the body and to accept the rear end I want to use is a independant rear from a 5 series BMW I was going to use its trans and motor but I got a 429 so I will be using that. What I am after is advice on how to build it and pics of these things for reference. And hows come the master cylinder is mounted under the driver??????????
