After lining up where I will locate the springs, I cobbled everything together and wheeled the little body over to the chassis. It may seem too high, but it is about right where I want it. With the actual sprung weight of the completed car, the rear should sit about 1" lower. All in all, I like the high look. This is no rat rod; it is a "cute" rod! There, I said it. And stop laughing...!
This view shows the long '36 rear radius rods and the front split Model A wishbones. I chose to run them long and close- it gives balance and breakup to the car's tall profile and to the smaller Model A frame. This first complete mock up puts the suspension, body and rake right where I want them to be.
