I'm not trying to pee on your campfire, but that A-bone coupe needs a lot of work. Make a thorough review of the suggestions above and make a list of the things you would have to do to bring that coupe up to snuff.

However, it can be done.

My first street rod back in the early 1990s was an all steel '31 A-bone sedan with a 454, Ford top-loader 4-speed, re-engineered Mustang II front end and a 9" Ford rear. It drove like it was on rails at freeway speeds, as well as over 110 mph on the drag strip.

However, I started with a brand new frame and an advanced engineering degree. My slightly narrowed M-II front end had tubular upper control arms and a slightly modified lower control arm and I kept the M-II diagonal strut. It aligned perfectly at the alignment shop.

It sits a little high in these photos, but I lowered it a bit later on.

It was damn hard to put this one together with mostly new parts (except for the body), and re-doing one that's set up, let's say more 'unconventionally' will be a lot harder.

Think this over really, really hard, because it will take a heap o' work to bring this one forward.

If you click on the photos, you'll get a larger view.

Good luck on whatever you choose to do.
