I'm going the gasser route with my 51 Dodge and building my own subframe. I was going to order some sheet steal and box tubing this week but have a question first. I was planning on 2x4, 1/8 inch wall for the front frame rails. They will be mounted toward the top and I was going to gusset from the bottom of the frame up with the same box tubing. Will this be stout enough to stand up to a few wheel stands? The rear spring shackle will be close to the rear, so I think it should be ok. I'll be running a 8 pt cage, if it was going to be a full cage I'd could run strut bars. I guess I could still do it. I could weld them to a plate and bolt them to the firewall with another plate inside. Something lik,e the early chevy II front clips they sell now. This will have a iron head BBC, so there will be some wt hanging out there. Any ideas or suggestions? This is my 1st gasser build.
