Whell after contiplating selling the Sedan it looks like my dad has decided to keep the sedan and go for major changes. He has wanted a stock 32 frame since the get go but decided to go wit a custom build in the early stages. With so many points missed along the way and all the rat rod craze the car has really grown to be something that it was never intended to be. So after about 20,000 miles of good hot rodding or more and dozens of magazines coverage we have found another stock frame and have tore into waht we hope to be a better turn to a much more traditional styled Hot rod, Who knows there may even be some fresh paint in the future and some Craig Ward tucked interior. We had to do alittle straightening on the frame and added new crossmembers, etc. Gonna be setup for a Caddillac 331 with 4 speed and a cool 4x2 intake. heres some pics of it in the jig. I took it out Saturday night for the first time.
Yes it is getting C-notched, I almost did not post that pic because I knew somoene would say something. Although it may not need it depending on how he wants it to sit. I mounted the rear crosssmember ot the bottom to give just little more clearance but I t will still need c- notching. Thanks for noticing though
No Slide he is trying to get the 55 road worthy before he tears it apart, He says after Nitrogeezers this weekend then he will
Was not being picky or a **** ... just a suggestion ... My 32 Roadster is not notched as much as the 3W ( photo shown ) and I wish the Roadster was cut as deep as the 3W ... Looking good ... I like 57 Ford rears also ... they have the pretty shape on the rear and a drain plug on the bottom.
Your frames are always nice too, Thanks. I ran into the same problem on my roadster. I plan on rounding this c-notch alitte more to give alittle extra clearance to set up the rearend for and aft
looking good. Maybe I can get a ride in it now theres going to be more room. Rusty, is Nitrogeezers meet at the same location ?
Lookin good ! but I thought it was perfect before ? that`s geene`s old frame table ! Ive built a few on that table !
I don't know, that car is so awesome right now that I think I'm gonna miss it after the redo. I'm sure that whatever you guys come up with will be *****in' though. Doc.
Rusty, I dont know if you cut out the trans crossmember or not but I have the center peice if you guys want it for the car. Looking good!Jim
Jim just pmed you about the center piece. Yes it will be a big change but with a growing Little (Big) Sister its gotta be a little bigger,
i really think its gonna be a change for the better.... is he going to leve the billet mirror on it.. hahaha...
Billet mirror !!! I even got a real 32 hood for it. Looks good Rusty, now I have to figure out how I am going to pay for it ..
Glad you guys are hanging onto it, that's one of thecars that just grabbed me from the first time I saw it.
hey guys i have that sedan and duece ch***is project for sale if you know anyone down there wanting such a deal , you guys could build it for them... cant belive you are working on that one danny but it will be even koooooler i think .... cya.......sam
You dont have a early Caddy std. flywheel laying around do ya ?? Well just to see you cruising around in your 3 window will do..
Well there goes one of my favorite HAMB rides..... But I hope the new version will be just as awesome.
I liked the first version so much I did a painting of the car. I know it's in good hands though and I look forward to its new life. Keep us all updated. BR
