Re: Ford Model A Tudor Modern Twist on a Classic

Would love to share a photo of success and progress today...



Alas, this is not one of those times. After getting this far and finally being able to test fit a seat and pedals, I have concluded I need to be about 4ft 8in to fit in my hot rod. Simply not enough space and my knees are where a steering wheel would go. A combination of things need to occur. I need to move the fuel tank forward about 6" to clear the rear of the cab when lifting the cab off the frame. I'll need to cut all the floor braces I've installed to move them back 6" and snug up against the suspension. I'll need to move the lower links on the suspension back so they don't hit the floor at full compression of the suspension.

ugh!

Let the cutting begin
