    I'm trying to get Ideas for my A its either a 28 or 29 2dr sedan. I would like to chop and channel it without fenders possibly with my six out of my 60, I think it would run alot better in the A. But I figure I will have to stretch the frame a little for my 250 six. Plus any pics of home made chasis that are z'd in the rear with a sucide front end thats what I'm looking for to but I can't decide on how high I want it to sit. plus I'm tall so I gotta be able to get into it.

    Any tips on building the chasis would help like figuring out how to set it up for the height I want it to sit when finished. I have bought several books but they only have small parts in them that show what I'm looking for when building it.

    dropped and chopped sedan.. my personal dream car. Are they hard to drive on that stretched wheelbase? If I ever build one, it will be a daily driver, for sure...

    mine turns fine, sitting still, moving, whatever, long wheel base means it rides nice, interior room is the biggest issue.

    Goddammit.
    Quit posting pics of these killer sedans. Making me want to sell my 39 before I finish and jump on to a fenderless sedan. Some great looking rides you guys have out there.
    Sweet ****.
