    Here is something I have been working on for awhile now.
    A double Z'd Model A frame.
    4" kick in the front at the toe board.Stamped Model A front crossmember.
    Tapered A style frame horns.
    8" kick in the rear.Tube rear crossmember with spring hanger.
    106" wheelbase.
    This one has the ladder bar crossmember added.(extra$)
    All joints TIG welded.

    As of right now base price $900.00,Alliance members $810.00

    I'll deliver to the HAMB drags if anyone wants one?
    I will be taking more pictures tomorrow.

    Wadda y'all think?

    I managed to get the force field turned off that was surrounded the black car.
    Been working on it,charging a battery today,so I can spin the motor.

    I have another frame design that will be done in two weeks.
    Just trying to get more products out there.

    The plan is that you will not have to wait more then two weeks for a frame.
    Most deals I can have done in 7 days.

    I have great welder/fab guy.Custom built frame jig.
    Got some cool ideas brewing.
    Gotta get with HANK about doing some tube bending projects...

    Didn't mean to have the post sound like a commercial.
    Just excited that it is finally done.
    Had one hack swear he could do it,took money,had to chase him done.
    Another shop kept making promises....

    I think I'll load one up and head to the drags....any rooms available at the Ramada?

    Stay tuned.........

    Nice looking frame, really nice...
    Definately within my price range... I'm planning on removing my old frame (due to it not being boxed all the way) and what you got would work for me..
    Geez, why do you have to come out with cool and cooler **** all the damn time? How would something like that ship to California, what would I be looking at?

    Monday I am getting shipping qoutes.
    I have a freight account with UPS freight .
    The cl*** is the tricky part.
    I think I will tell them its "machine parts" or a ladder rack?
    Car frames freak them out and the charge more,because they think of a new car frame like a F-150 frame from Ford.
    I will also deliver if there is a good car thing going on...
    like "The Hot Rod Revolution: September 22, 2007 " if there is enough interest..

    I'm in Ca. too. I'de consider one if you could get it here for not too much $$.
    I'm really not familier with how low such a frame will put a car. Any idea without a channeled body?
