Z-ed my A frame

only thing precious about an A frame is the cross members (which are widely reproduced) and the frame horns. the rest is junk

 

Make a good step from your deck to the lawn.

 

wow.

 

They also sell Neverkink hoses at Costco that you can return when they kink.

Im thinking about doing an extreme reverse Z and channeling the body 5" from the ground so that the frame rails also act as a frame for my headliner.

 

And it can double as your rollcage!

How the hell tall are these guys that drive these, maybe 5'2"? if i tried to get in that thing my knees would be on the roof! Looks bitchen though!

 

look forward to seeing the body on the frame

 

Looks like ass imo. The trucks cowl covers the step up so it looks ok ish..............

 

Craftsmanship looks great! Jack stands are rad!

You sound very confident in your replys, even with all the ass tearing thats going on.

I personally like weird and unusual things. Go for it!

Itll be more interesting to look at than another $100,000 gold chainer tri-five trailer queen.

 

Well my 30 tudor is within 5" of the ground at the cowl and 5.5" at the rear quarters and I only have a 4" Z. There's a lot easier way to go about things than what you're doing. PM me if you want and I'll try to help.

 

Was thinking about this on the way home tonight. Mine is swept 4" and has a 4" drop axle and is 5" off the ground.

So if you ran tyres two inches taller (sorry cant remember what size they were) and put up with being 4 " off the ground and used a std axle with no drop etc it would be about the same.

PLEASE Get this mocked up and pics. I dont care if when you do it doesnt work, I just think its great someone is trying something.

 

Need to see pics with the body on.....

Good job on trying something different though.

 

The radius rods look really short. How do you plan to mount them?

 

Look you've gotten the attention that you've craved.

Considering the forum you're on and the ratrodz look to your work, people have been really nice.

Is there any particular reason WHY you built your frame like that? Did it solve a problem maybe we're not aware of?

Just because its different doesn't mean its not stupid.

 

if it dont work try flipping the front axle upside down and gain a few inches. old hotrod trick

 

so what engine is goin in it? chevy 350? LOL.sorry. but i cant wait to see engine and rad mocked up!!! where s the pic with body on it?

 

Last post by him on July 5th. Do you think we've lost him?
