Thread: 27 T Tudor Sedan

Tweet

I was given a 27 T sedan from my Dad, who has had the car for 41 years. 30 of which, it was been sitting. I want to start on it now, and I don't know where to turn. The frame is a 32 A frame, which has abondoned crossmembers and all kinds of junk on it and it's not boxed. I need to find out how to or by whom to have my frame updated. The last time it was worked on was 1966.
I still have the 1957 Lincoln 368 my Dad used to run and the 4 speed manual trans. Suicide front and 55 Chevy rear end with killer traction bars.
Awesome hot rod but it needs some engineering and some welding.
Please Help!!!
Thanks

Okay, let's move it here.

Congratulations on recognizing your limitations! I would suggest you be patient and start spending time hangin' around hot rods and hot rod people. Look, ask questions, and learn. THEN you can make some viable decisions on your course of action. If that takes a couple years, so be it!

From what you've described you're in dire need of a good frame and suspension setup. What you've probably got is unsafe JUNK!! There are guys out there, especially in your part of the world, who will do a good job for you. There are also flakes who may know what to do, but aren't reliable. You need to do your homework and learn the difference.

These guys look like they know their stuff, and they are in the same state as I am. I got a feeling this is going to be a $10,000 deal having a killer chassis built. Ouch. I am not afraid to work on stuff, but my car is all origional steel, and mistakes could be tragic.
Ever heard of these guys?
