    Front End Upgrade

     



    Building a 1938 Olds rod, any suggestions on how to upgrade the original front end. Install disc brakes. Do anyone make replcement upper and lower control arms. Steering box that would mount up to original equipment.

    If it's the original frame, a MII type swap would cure all the problems. Probably have a source for the right components, let me know if that's a route you would want to take and I'll make a call.

    Yes,Dave it is the original frame. Don't know if I am ready to spend that kind of bucks on this built. I was looking for more of a swap parts type of thing. If that do not work maybe the MII will be my next choice.
