    32 ford body to model A frame?

     



    Hey folks. New here. I will be starting a t build after Christmas. I plan to build s 32 ford after the T is done. I was wondering if I could put a fiberglass 32 coupe body on a model a frame? Anyone ever done this or seen it done?

    Anything is possible if you have the time and or the money to make it work but I have to ask, why would you take a body that came fitted to one of the nicest frame rails and is so popular today as it was yesterday and fit it to a earlier style frame ?
    I maybe a little crazy but it stops me going insane.

    Lots of A's dropped onto '32 rails, to get the longer WB along with the side reveal that's unique to the Deuce. Going to an A frame is a huge step backwards. Buy a Deuce frame, or a set of new repro rails and do the Deuce right.
