Just another bucket build

Ok, I'm starting a build thread for my bucket. Hope this is the right spot. Long time lurker.

I've been collecting parts for the better part of 20 years now, nothing done yet. Here's what I have so far (that I can remember): RPM Big Boy Body; Model A rear crossmember with low rise speedway spring; dropped model a front crossmember with speedway spring; 4 inch dropped ford front axle; 1947 Ford spindles, brakes, front and rear wishbones; 1957 235 chevy inline 6, rear axle; 2x3 3/16 steel for frame; lots and lots of misc. parts to be listed later.

I spent the other weekend building a mock up frame from 2x4s following Chester's plans. This is just a starting point, I want the body down low so I am planning on z-ing the mock frame this weekend to get it lower.

I hope to spend a bit of time each week or every-other week working on this, although my honey-do list is quite long.
 
Great way to start. Getting the stance of your bucket figured out ahead of time is going to pay dividends.
