I CAN NOT BELEIVE YOU EVEN KNEW WHAT THAT WAS!!I didn't think think anyone on this board would recognize what that was.Its a model A sedan body i'm doing some metal work on for my father.Tried to talk him into chopping it and putting a Hemi in it.But he'll have no part of it,just have to finish tigging in some patches so he can take it home.Ron

Set body down on frame,OSHA would not have been happy.What do you think about the ride height,it seems kinda high,but by the top of the tire to the body line,it should be correct compared to the other Mustangs I like the height on.Ron

Thanks,I know these cars are never low enough for anyone on this board.But unlike my Camaro or Cuda,the tires are not tucked in behind the quarter panel,so the construction of the bulge or flare is a little different.I need to leave myself enough room to transition the metal back into the regular quarter,hopefully without it looking stupid.I lowered the car 1 1/2",I really don't think I can go much lower and get the metal formed,and still look cool.The bottom of the frame is 7" in rear and 6.5" in front What do you think.Ron

Very awesome build , but $5,000 is an unrealistic amount . But maybe you know something I don’t lol. Going to be nice when done either way!

Amazing job. Especially considering it started with a $400 car!
