I moved the body also,in the late 50s,I put the frame, an alxes,power train together,then added the body at best place. The old 28 A roadster I got ,was in bad shape,rear trunk & Q's smashed in up to the front of trunk lid- from there back just bent bad { as a teen,I just cut off all of the junk } so It was then a Bobtailed Roadster. I did not Z any part of frame to get rake an low,axle mounts did it,48 front axle has stock Ford drop of 3 in. and made custom spring with custom cross> made front low,with front alxe forward some,then stock 28 A rear spring with 3 missing leafs dropped over rear of rear>moved rear axle forward { so both front an rear axles are forward from A stock. After power train in frame,then added body for best fit. I drove too high school in 1960-62 ,, still have,but added chrome header* some years back,rest is all same as highschool. I works n I like it,no need 4 new colors.
I read your prior post thru several times Dana but I just couldn’t quite get my head around your description combined with the photo. Now I get it, thanks!
