    You didn't say what you're building, but just wondered if you had thought about using a Deuce chassis instead?? They have to be narrowed and shortened to put an A body on, but they sure do look nice.

    Learning must be difficult for those who already know it all!!!!

    Thanks Dave, Well I've got a 31 5 window
    and its sittin on a boxed Model A frame I'm tired of the Flexi Flier Ride and possesing the equipment thought I'd build a new chassis after checking the prices for a store bought one. Finally found the prints at Wescot last night, WOW what a search that info is not readily available,hats off to Wescot,
    And yes the duece chassis is very cool,but I plan to channel the body so ya wouldn't
    see the rails anyway. Thanks again .

    You might consider making the frame from 2"x5"tubing & extending the frame past the rear axel (per 32 Ford) so you can move the gas tank to the rear.....Don
