I've got a jig for Deuce frames and the appropriate fixtures to narrow it down to fit an A Body. The cost and time involved for a one time use would be prohibitive, in my opinion. And no, I'm not promoting my own biz, got plenty enough allready, thank you. With no experience in fabricating frames, jigs, or holding fixtures in my opinion you would be much better off hiring it done. A Lincoln square wave tig is about $4,000.00, add another $1,000.00 for materials, clamps, adjusters, fixtures, etc. You will also need a band saw (or chop saw), levels, squares, angle finders, grinders, sanders and a multitude of other things. Seems you would have somewhere in the neighborhood of $7,000.00 plus just getting ready to do the frame. Half that or less will buy a new frame with boxing plates, crossmembers, spreader bars, suspension attachment brackets allready done. Plus you would more than likely be buying it from someone experienced in putting frames together. Just my 2 cents worth.Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!
