So I had an opportunity to buy a 1931 model body, full hood, 32 grille and a 32 frame. For running gear I'll be using 1941 ford front and rear axles, 59A-b flathead V8 with a 39' 3 speed top loader transmission hooked to 41' pedals. The chassis is pinched to fit a model A and then the frame horns were removed and the rails pinched more to tuck them in where the hood sides will be. It will ride on 35-36 (I believe) wire wheels with 750-16 rear and 500-16 ribbed dirt track tires up front.

Here's the pictures so for, Im currently working on the chassis.

frame getting Jigged up





Pinched to fit model a cowl



Horns removed and pinched to fit 32 grille




Had to throw the grille on to see what it looked like




At first I was going to use the 1941 ford x section
here's some of the mock up pictures





However I didn't like the looks of it and how it didn't flow back into the chassis right on the rear. So I made my own.





Starting to take shape







Next it was time to make some motor mounts







Then I checked fit and started to set up the clutch arm and linkage








That's were I am currently
