Thread: One Way To Build A '32 Hyboy

Next is the frame, you can see the bottom of the frame where I cut it. This is done so the rear end can be raised in the car to lower it more. That's one of the nice things about a Dearborn car they raise the floor in the trunk area about 4". So I raised the frame rail up to meet the floor. This let me see what else I had to do to make the frame rail lay flat against the floor all the way to the rear of the car. The next shot is where removed it from the car and notched it in the "C" notch. This also allowed me to shorten the frame and move the "C" notch so it is centered in the wheel well. It always bugs me to see a tire that isn't centered.
Next is clearance for the locating bars that hold the up rights in the wheel well. I just cut out a section in the bottom of the frame then slip in a piece of 1 3/4 x .120 wall tubing and tack it in. Then use a saws all and just follow the bottom of the frame. What is left is a tunnel for the suspension bar to move up and down in threw it's travel.
I don't like these bars to be way below the frame so that's why I let them move up in the frame for the travel.
