Today’s A body work. Love this car!

It would probably ride better, but Early A's are kinda like E bodies for notoriously being tail draggers. You mentioned adding disc brakes. Not sure if it's still there, but a place called Pirate Jacks, that sells disc brake kits for all kinds of old cars is right here in Asheville. It's real close to Brother Wolf animal shelter down in Biltmore. If you are on Swannanoa River Rd. and turn across the old concrete bridge to go to Brother Wolf, it is down the 2nd street to the left.
