If it is any help: my '34 Tourer has 7" of clearance between the top of the tyre and the underside of the middle of the muguard.
The bottom edge of the running board is about 1" below the bottom of the chassis rail, and 13.5" from the ground. The rear chassis rail is about 2" lower than that.
I think the springs on the tourer are set too high, the back end looks a little jacked up.
Plenty of clearance for trialling, if I was that way inclined.
If you put the battery in the back, and it is still 6 volt, use the heaviest duty cable you can. My local shop has a choice of standard or h/d, and the h/d improved starting even over the distance from a standard position.
Earth cable straight to a gearbox stud.

Now you have me thinking - if I wanted to trial that car, but not change the springs.....
Which in turn has generated two more thinks: 1) one way to lower a car is by removing leaves - worth checking.
2) the back end is too low, anyway. Something needs to be done
...................one could provide an extra set of axle spring pin eyes below the existing ones
I think I could do this without modifying the orriginal axle permanently. And without crushing it, which exhaust clamp type clamps can do.
But I doubt the scrutineers would like it much.
