Hey guys, I am the new owner of a bare frame, 27 body and front axle. I bought it all from a guy in Fl. The frame is welded up, with the front spring perch. It looks like a good job, I have not checked it for square. It is 3/16 material and heavy. I won't have to worry about burning through on any welds. The body seems to be at least 1/4 inch thick and made with a chop gun. It has the doors, but no dash, floor or wood. The axle is a 42-48 with the wishbones, spindles and tie rod. I hope to go to the Spirit Bash this week and see the answer to a lot of my questions. I will try to get some pics up asap, since I will need a lot of help and advise. I have an 8 and 9" rear and will probably go with the 8" since I hope to run a flathead. To get started, I want to mock up the front end. I need some drum brakes and would to find out what will bolt on the Ford spindles. I have access to some Ford 57 truck and 59 auto brakes. The wishbones have a dog leg about a foot from the front. I think I want to run tie rod ends in the end of the wishbones. I will do some searches to get educated on these things, but value any and all advise from you guys. I could go on and on, but need to take this one step at a time.
thanks,
