Thread: FNG in Tennessee

Do you have any suggestions for an aftermarket frame? I want it to be a highboy. I found this but it's for ford f-100's. The only thing I can see that would prevent me from using it on a deuce frame would be the crossmember, which I could narrow if need be. The rest of the kit looks bolt on.p162590_image_large.jpg

There's a lot of frame builders around, but few may have what you want. Try Cornhusker Rod and Custom, they seem to have a lot of variety in their frame bulds for 32' -34's. Or you can get the frame rails and have a local rod shop set it up for the suspension system that you want. In any case, it will cost some moola if you aren't inclined to diy.

You might check out www.hotrodjimtexas.com. He is building a lot of different chassis for the vette change overs. I talked with him before starting my car,he shows at the different car shows around Tx.They are located in Luling Tx. Good to hear a fellow Tennessean I left there in 68,can't get back often enough.I have a brother in Crossville Tn.

Cool man. I really appreciate the info on the shop. I sent them a quote request and I'm awaiting a response. Looks like they do awesome work too. Thanks again-Charlie

One Hillbillie to another,glad I could help.

They E-mailed me back and said they don't do the roadster frame anymore. Said people didn't like it because it didn't look like the traditional duece frame. They said the completed ones were a blast to drive and would run circles around these new vettes. That's saying something in my book. A friend of mine says he knows of a shop around here that builds race car cages and back-half cars. As soon as I get the name of it I'm gonna see what they can do for me.
