29 Ford Jalopy Rod

[Supernurd]

This will be an attempt to power a 29 Model A with a 37 Chevy six in the stock frame.  I've already shortened the driveshaft, channeled the body, cut the master cylinders off the firewall to be relocated, and fabricated moter mounts, so there's no turning back now.  I may drop the front axle, but maybe not.  Channeling added a major packaging headache, which I failed to foresee.  But I will press on.

Making progress.  Engine has been fitted and floor roughed in.  Dropped the radiater mount which raised the front end, but leveled the hood. Superglued a toothpick across the frame as a temperary cross brace.   I think I will leave that stovebolt high in the air.  The radiater is falling over in the picture. Got the lower pan welded in.  May mount the frame on stock 37 chevy wheels if I can find a fourth tire.
