Question for chassis guru's-Model A

[grumpy]

Suppose you had a brand new "A" chassis that is set up with tri-angulated 4-bar rear, and 4in drop i-beam front with 4-bar, and all brackets and accesories to run fenders and saddle-tanks etc.

Then suppose you want to run fenderless, and thought about yanking all unused fender brackets, and such. BUT, hate the looks of a 4-bar on a fenderless car(Note:it's ok if you have this set-up, I just don't care for it)

And, suppose the owner(to remain nameless)isn't a seasoned builder, and is looking for excellent advice.

How would you go about changing/removing the 4-bar and installing hairpins?

On a fenderless "A", will the tri-angulated 4bar show too much? or is it more hidden than standard 4bar?

Thanks for your help and intervention, I will pass this info onto the "guy" who's needing help!!

I have a triangulated 4 link on my fendered A pickup, but the lower bars
are barley visible with the rear fenders off.  You could always disguise
them as split wishbones if it is still too much.

Don't over think the front.  Get your hairpins and see where the mount
needs to be (With proper caster).  If  you can modify the 4-link mount, use
it.  If  you need to install single hole mounts cut off the old ones and weld
on the new.
