Thanks for that info, it will probably help when looking for parts and such, even though I have a ton of metal work to do first

I'm also thinking about getting an AA radiator shell, that would give me an extra inch or so in length for the engine compartment, and probably keep the same mounting holes as what is presently on my chassis. Anyone know if this might work or if the AAs used the same hood or not. I know a ton of parts were interchangeable.
