1. Install stock ford 8.8 welding brackets to mount to current 4 link factory set up, run 30" mickey thompson tires 16" wide on rear
2. Extend cowl forward to front wheel openings, install new firewall, about 20".
3. Cut exsisting straight front frames, place home made extended frames in place and weld all back together.
4. Clean up front suspension section removing all sheet metal, car has rack&pinion steering coil springs with cool looking dampners for shocks.
4. Drop in V8 , put on old ford radiator chrome lights, etc...
5. End result places front axle in front of radiator headlights with exposed motor, car shell would be in style of 32 ford.
Question, sounds simple, is the frame extention do able?
And what style of rod do you call a body with open engine area and radiator headlighg combo set behind front axle
