I know there are a few threads of 27/32 combo pictures. Id be curious to see if anyone has any build pics of how they modified there 32 frames to accept there t roadsters ( narrowing, pinching, crossmembers etc.) Im still not sure if ill be using an A frame or possibly 32 rails. I would first like to see or hear of some build details on the frames.
We been kicking one around in the shop using some early 30's chevy rails. Just in the planning stages so have no pics.
I built the "ricky Lakester 2" on 32 rails. front half of a 27 roadster.34 x-member etc. stuck it all together with left over parts. sold it once,deal fell through,traded it once-guy bailed . blew it apart and sold off all the parts.. Guy in denver has the body/frame and is building it again I heard.
the traditionalist in me will probably go the route of an A frame.....sure do like how they look on 32 rails though..
Well I just mocked my up on an A frame. You can see(if the pic shows up) How much I need to pinch the frame to channel it!
I did one over 35 yrs ago on a 32 frame & think they look great. There is one in an old hot rod magazine ( don't remember the year), & it looked like it belonged there.You need to pinch the front & use a "A" rear x member.Just do it.
come get your rails before one of the little getto *** kids from around the way take them and build a go cart or something with them. deuce rails for a go cart, haha. actually isn't that waht you are building?
