Figuring out the location of the engine and transmission in the 1929 Ford Roadster Hot was a bit of a challenge. The Model A Ford Roadster does not have a spacious interior. I am 6’ – 4” tall and need leg room when sitting in the car. Many hot rodders will cut out and have about a 4” recess in...

Now it came time to work on what I thought was the most difficult part of the chassis, the front suspension.
