Chassis

The Chassis comes first. The Body follows the Chassis.............but it is an iterative process. 

I started with a stock 1930 Model A Ford.  Now I have a balanced  engine from H&H Antique

This Rebuild included these improvements
          - Engine - Exhaust Header, DownDraftCarb, Oil Filter System, 12v, Electronic Ignition
          - Hydraulic Brakes

It is now in the middle of its second build to change it as follows :
          - Move Radiator forward and lower it, Install Electric Fan
          - Narrow the Frame at the Rear
          - Convert to Open Drive Shaft
          - Install Borg Warner 5 Speed with overdrive from a Chev S10 pickup
          - Lighten Flywheel
          - Convert to 56 Ford Pickup Steering Box and Lower Steering Wheel
The design I'm doing is based on the frame as it will exist at the end of this second rebuild. 

Other improvements I have not ruled out might include :
         - Lower Front End
         - Lower Rear End
