I have a 68 472 (375hp, 525ftlb, 10.5:1) sitting in my barn waiting to be strapped into a frame and wrapped with a 31 roadster body.

Thanks

Since you guys are measuring your 31 model A's, I need to know the measurements of the body. Mine was chopped and if I decide to patch it I need to know how much was chopped off. This is what I need.

I just joined but it easy to find stuff here and there's no attitude. I am a youngin here I guess at 36, but my dad did this stuff and I grew up in it. You can see some of his stuff at www.connectinghighway.com. I joined hamb about the same time and they are anti rat rod rich guys if you ask me...

Well I grabbed the jeep for the frame. It has a hard top, hard doors, newer 4 banger and an auto tranny. I will sell all that off and it should sell easy. I am looking at a caddy 500ci motor and tranny tomorrow which is still in the car. It is supposedly running and if its all good I am going to...

Nice. I will be scouring craigslist for one myself.

this is one of the nastiest jeeps i built. 1 ton drive train with a tbi350 lengthened wheelbase and 39.5 boggers. Like i said i know jeeps pretty good, just be going down instead of up this time.

Well i have been looking around for frame options searching craigslist and stuff. I know you guys are not into the s10 idea but i want to build this thing cheap as in under 3 grand. I found a few s10s but i think i am going to go with a jeep yj frame. A co worker has a 95 wrangler with a new 4...

I poked around trying to figure out if it was a coupe and there's no way. The rear quarters have the right lines for the roadster and the windshield is welded on and bondo'd like everything else. I'm not sure why the guy who drag raced it put so much bondo on, guess it had to look pretty. Still...

What makes you say its a coupe? Im new to this, but it has the shorter trunk with a missing above trunk panel and i thought only the roadster had that panel?

Im in NY

No clue about that frame, the pics were the ones posted on craigslist.

I am definitely leaning toward a gasser style leaf sprung straight axle front end.

It was a drag car and they cut the original front frame rails off and replaced them with square tubing and leaf springs. I'm not even sure if the frame is from the same car. It is boxed by what looks like they welded a left and right rail together on each side and put a few cross members in and...

While searching the local craigslist for my 66 chevy build I ran across this. The guy wanted to trade it away and not sell it. I got it for a couple of old rifles I had not stuck a bullet in for 15 years. It is secondary to the 66 build, but I will start collecting parts. Not sure what I am...
