    This is a picture of a frame which I built for a 1927 Ford roadster which I built about 10 years ago. The frame has been dramatically ze'd in the rear, then extended beyond the rear axle to give me protection in the rear in case the fiberglass body ever got hit from behind.----as an aside to this story, I never use expensive coil-over shocks from the aftermarket I find that I can fabricate coil cups and use conventional springs and shock absorbers for about 20% of the cost of "coilovers".
