1929 Model A Sedan build

[Gypsy Hunter]

I introduced myself the other day and said I would post some pics so here they are. The rusty one is mine! The other nice sedans are the look and feel that I will be going for. I picked up the 1929 Model A Tudor sedan in Goldendale Wa. At this point in time I don't know what frame to use or to just build my own, what front suspension components to use, steering box, rear suspension, how much to channel, Z the rear of the frame, and where to install the air bags.

But what the car did come with is a 1971 Datsun frame ( it is boxed ) with the original Model A front clip welded to the Datsun frame, rear section of the model A slid into the Datsun frame but not welded in, two speed powerglide trans, 350 4 bolt long block, s-10 rear end, radiator, and misc. small pieces. So I don't know what I can or should use so I will be hitting the search feature hard very soon. I need to start with a good foundation so the frame choice will be first. If anyone has any pointers of how to get started feel free to speek up. It will be greatly appreciated. Since it is a Ford I plan on installing a 408 with a blower. I will save the 350 for my wife's 1950 chevy truck. Not sure if I want to go auto or stick at this point.

Some people don't like the idea of installing bags but I want the car to sit and ride low and I live in the hills and my driveway has a sharp turn and steep hill climb up to the house so I need to be able to get it up in the air so I don't drag the rear of the body on the main road before I start my climb.

I do take a lot of pictures and document anything that I build so get ready for a flood of pics. Maybe slow at times cause this is a whole new experience for me.

Thanks for looking.
