Thread: How to build an early hotrod frame

Tweet

Okay, this will be the last installment for today. There are many different ways to skin a cat, and this is simply one more of the ways. If you want to maintain the stock front crossmember, (and consquently the radiator support), then another way to lower the front of your chassis is by building a Z into the front of the frame rail, just behind the front crossmember. This allows you to keep all the original stock front end components, but lower the car as much as you want, determined by the depth of the vertical leg in the Z. I have saved an excellent picture of this type of front end frame Z, and I will let the picture speak for itself. In this particular picture, the frame was dropped by a distance equal to the depth of the frame.
