Hi Andy, I am also building a special from a 1928 FB President.
It is bare bones no body. I have been working on it for 12 months now. I have converted the front springs to conventional shackle pins and bushes.
I will have to make a drag link using dodge Ram tie rod ends, they have the same taper.
Brakes will be converted to hydraulic because I am missing front perot arms. Using Nissan patrol rear cylinders with 8mm backing plate to centralize cylinder with shoes. A minor mod to shoes is required.
I have the original wire wheels but will convert all studs to 14mm.
Plan to fit T5 gear box and a small supercharger, see what happens.

The motor is at the reconditioner now.
