I guess you just acquired somebody's original chassis removed to build a rod project with the body.
That's how I used to get lots of chassis.
Is it still complete and original with the 4 cylinder and radiator and steering and transmission ans rearend and front end and wheels? DO you know if it runs or not? Lots of times these "cast-off" chassis can be gotten to run, and some run darn well, even though they may have been sitting a long time.
You might think about checking out the old time running gear and maybe making a neat 4banger rod. A set of 40-48 hydraulic brakes(and maybe it already has them) some new rubber and you've got a good start on some old time fun .
There are bodies for sale all the time at swap meets and you could probably even find something locally if you keep your eyes and ears open. Find you local Model A Restorer's club and ask if somebody has somethey they don't want. You may get a cowl section, a pair of doors, a tail piece from various folks.
That 200 inch flathead with a home made 2bbl manifold using a Ford staged 2bbl from a 2.3 4cylinder, OR TWO OF THEM, would make a fun piece to tour the town with. And if your hair is greased enough and your jeans are cuffed just right and your Camel pack is rolled up in your Tshirt sleeve, you just might get some action at the local drive-in, knowhatimean Vern?
