Re: 4 WHEEL DRIVE 'A' MODEL ?
ive thought it would be fun. I dont think it would be too awful hard to do. Get some light weight solid 4x4 axles ( older jeep wrangler? 80's nissan/mitsubishi truck axles) make some mounts, acquire a divorced transfer case out of something and weld brackets into an AA frame and ti can be done for sure. Might get lucky and find 4:11 axles so its got some good grunt especially in 4 low.
Will need to calculate and make some special driveshafts and steering linkages but it can be done.
