'32 ford deuce frame rails DXF

I read the tech article posted and thought, wow. I almost want to build a set just for fun, even though I don't have a 32, atleast yet.

So I sat down and made an autocad file of it based on the tech article.

If anybody wants them here they are, if someone could print them out full size and compare to a real frame that would be even better.

I would love to build a set, just gotta find a reason why.

Anybody got a 32 ford body, want to trade for a set of new rails??? LOL

http://www.nwstp.com/jsm/frame.zip right click save as.

Tried to upload it, but it exceeds file size.

 

windows needs to know what program created it.

 

autocad, unless you have autocad it won't work for you.

You could have solidworks, pro-e also, something that can work with a dwg file.

 

Thanks! Now if you owned a CNC plasma cutter you wouldn't even have to print them.

 

Hmmm - what am I doing wrong - my autocad 2004 says the drawing is invalid and does not open????

 

yeah, but it's glass haha

 

Incompatable versions. I tried 14, 2000, 2002, 2004, 2008, and solid works.

No good.

 

It works...........

 

can you save in version compatible with 2004?

 

Just added a dxf version.

Previous was saved as autocad 2007/2007 LT

BTW I hate autocad, prefer solidworks.

Glass huh, pm me if your serious.

Hmmm, I started to build one of those, sold it to a friend cheap with the idea if I ever needed to use it I could once he finished it. I need to check and see if he finished it.

I am sure someone here works or has one also. Got to thinking last night though even if they are perfect side and top views, due to the curves they will need to be stretched longer so when bent will be the right lengths. Going to play with solidworks and make a 3d model at some point.

 

Thanks man - that one worked. Pretty sweet too. My buddy Lay Drag is talking about making his own frame - I am sure this will help somehow- not sure how yet!! I'll keep ya posted.

I traced a model A sedan into ACAD and have that saved on my other computer. Good for mocking up.

 

Converted the *.dxf file quick and dirty into SW. Looks pretty good to me!

 

Pretty cool thanks. Took a look in SW DWG Editor. Ill open it in SW or FC later
