I need ideas for after market Model A frames

Well, it looks like I am in the market for another Model A frame.
Will any model A frame work with my 30 coupe body? That is will the body fit on a 29 frame etc?
Any suggestions for repro. frames? Sacramento, Pete and Jakes, Cornhusker's etc.

 

What look are you going for? Killer on this board makes frames and the quality is very nice. One of my buddies picked one up from him. He can make changes to it as needed for you...EVILT

If you want a standard A frame, I got mine from Pete&Jakes and it's extremely well made. You might want to double-check but it seems like just bare frames would qualify for the HAMB Alliance free shipping deal - that could make a huge difference in cost and would only set you back 50 bucks.

 

Killers frames look great.

 

I have had good luck w/a frame from TOTAL PERFORMANCE www.totalperformance.com about $750.00 + shipping. Any 1928 1931 Model A body will bolt to it, using the stock body mounts. Take a look at my 30 roadster pu. I used the stock frame, w/out the 3" step up. Allsteel30ford

 

Call Randy at LRS, inc. He's great and does incredible work. Short list of his customers on his web site includes P&J and Brizio.

I can recommend CSRM California Street Rod Manufacturing. best price around

 

I'm using a TCI frame for my PU. $800 from my local dealer + tax.

KILLER's ch***is look damn fine too. If only I'd seen his first.

Bob Bleed also makes A frames. Shoot him a PM.

Need to figure out my projects first.

 

Look in the cl***ifieds, there is another HAMBer selling some nice looking ones

 

Thanks everyone for the good ideas!!!!

Sacramento ?

I'm leaning towards Killers myself. Looks like a decent product / price. I would normally build myself, but just don't have the time right now.

 

Koolman,nice talking with you.
I'll put this out here to see what others think.
Repop 32 rails $650.00
New A front crossmember $75.00 (CE )
your old A rear crossmember-$0
36-40 center X-member $100.00 plus $50.00? sandblasting
Cut fit x-members,square up,tack. 12 pack Miller
Have buddy weld it up on frame table $???
Now you have a killer trad 32 ch***is for less then a grand !
Sounds easy enough....

 

Are you in Sacramento? I am in Sacramento, I have a original frame with all hte running gear. I will sell seperate possibly. Also here is a picture of the frame I jsut built, it is a copy/variation of hte frame that littleman built. I built this frame in about 3 days on the weekend fairly easy to do if you have basic fabrication skills. Worst part about this frame was torching all the holes and welding in the pipe, it took forever

I've got about $300 in this frame (not counting labor)
