There might of been a few right hand drive 180A's but QUICKLY change to left hand drive... The return of $$$$ is a issue. I had 2 that 1 now is a High end Rod and the other in parts went back to where right hand driving is. First thing you should do is join the 180A club. CONTACT is 180-A Body Style Group. c/o Ross Milne , 32 Richmond Drive , Brampton ON L6W 2E9 Canada . DON'T TRY Don Bivens of Canton MI. as listed in MARC Mag. you might as well try getting milk from a bull. He has been out of it for YEARS ! Second don't but any wood from Classic Wood .. too too fat in places and i called Fordwood years ago and seems they did not do 180A 'S they might be buying it from Class WOOD and became a middle man...WHO KNOWS ? Can't tell you what to do but right to left drive is your best bet. Look for a nice complete chassis and a gas tank. A pair of Stanchions too because the hole for the mirror is on the right side and not the left... Good Luck what ever road you pick... the hard part is the correct front seat frames.. if your is not correct.p.s. Al jr. did make another run of the ZINC DOOR . SILLS. also check who has reproduction top iron[ as of now] ????
