Thread: Old meets Older

Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, i need some advice

I Work for a man with a passion for the old. As such, ive been paid for resurrecting a 36 plymouth from 10 years of storage with fuel in the system, Converting a 50CJ3A to 12 volt and reupholstered it, not to mention gave it brakes. The most current project winding down is a 25T touring. I will post pics of some of said vehicles after this weekend.

That being said, I have been asked to apply a New model T racer body to a 1931 model A frame and Chassis. Now im not shocked to see differences in the fame, trans, ect, but im wondering if anything like this has been done. Any advice would be great

T bodies on A chassis have probably been done a bazillion times (well....maybe a slight exageration), so, even with a "custom" body it should be doable. Since the A frame is wider, if the custom body has any tuck under that might be an issue, hard to say without measuring.

The T racer body has no tuck under so this is good news. As im sure you know. the T body is framed out in wood with steel bracing, then lowered onto the steel chassis, so great. Thanks for the advice Bob, your always full of good advice
