Thread: Project Special K

Moving forward went to local steel supply store and talked with a guy there about boxing frames and the lack of easy cutting tools(in my shop), etcetera.. and came to conclusion that it would be faster and cheaper to buy front and back precut pieces from Sacramento Vintage Ford(SVF), then trying to use scrap from them. SVF sells the front and back precut pieces in pairs for 75 bucks per end, and isn't too far of a drive, to save big bucks on shipping, plus I'm remiss to admit there is a nice Hooters restaurant near by to catch lunch at! I know dirty old man! Anyway it's fun going around their showroom which is like a retro museum for hot rodders. In the mean time I can finish a few other projects and free up the rest of the summer to work on the truck, and take a vacation for a week at the coast and celebrate turning Half a century old/young!
I've read online that having a partial boxed in frame is o.k. for light use(not drag racing, and moderate HP, weekend use vehicle vs. heavy use heavy HP.) So hopefully the kits they sell will reinforce the suspension area of most stress to the frame. Worst case scenario I made a mistake!

For those that want the store tour go here, Sacramento Vintage Ford .... go to vintage ford first before you forget what you came for...LOL
