Default Model A Stance?

So I have a bone stock model A chassis, pretty sure 1928. Im wondering who has started with this type of chassis and turned it into a rod and what kind of stance to expect. I do want to box the frame and get rid of the rear spring cover brace and go with a standard type coil over rearend, without Z'ing the back of the chassis. Anyone have any pics of a stance of one of these or ideas? Im new to the model a's so sorry if my terminology is off. Thanks. Luke

It would have the same stance as stock Model A. That is if you used the same size tires and stock front and rear axle.

If you use coil over it all depends on how you do it.

The HAMB is probably the best place for this discussion. Here's a thread to get you started.

Good on ya, Brent. I've seen way less polite and helpful redirections to the HAMB here!

Reverse eye front spring will lower the front end.

But that's not for me and a lot of others here..
