Thread: frame advice

Tweet

Hey Demano, welcome to CHR! Are you going to do a tudor hiboy or a fendered car? Either way it's sounding like a great project.

Others may disagree, but if you're up for building a frame from scratch I'd look at starting with a matched pair of repop rails instead of going straight tube. Speedway sells a set of Model A rails that would give you a period correct approach - 1928-31 Ford Model A Frame Rails - Speedway Motors, America's Oldest Speed Shop
But if you're going hiboy how about using a pair of '32 rails? I think that would be a killer look, especially with that big 429 hanging out there exposed to the world! American Stamping makes a great set of repop rails for the Deuce - American Stamping Corporation: Home Page
If you need it there's also a good tubular crossmember or two from Speedway - 1932 crossmembers from Speedway Motors, America's Oldest Speed Shop Pete & Jake's can help you out with parts like these, too.

thanks for the welcome and info, would really like to start from scratch because of the front and rear z i want, the car will have no hood or fenders, just a little concerned if the suspension and frame will hold the engine combo, thanks again
