    Please see page three of this thread. A frames just don't look this good when the final product is all said and done. In my humble opinion, of course.

    I'm glad you posted this thread, as I am thinking about putting my 31 tudor sedan on a 1934 ford frame I got. Been wondering how it would work out. Keep us posted.

    I used 28 chevy frame horns and 6 x 2 c channel and made my own "32" style chassis. It dosnt look as good but if its all you got then so be it. You can use the crossmembers out of that frame an build one bad ass chassis if you put the right amount of thought into it.

    Yes and No. It keep my mind busy but all the work that that car needed to bring it to my liking would of taken alot of money and time. If that car was my only car I would of bought a lot nicer body to start with. When i first started it was going to be a Rat but it isn't in me to rat things out. The "A" was pretty bad with both quarters falling off of it broken at the belt line, the dents and rusty pitted body surface. Im still on here because this is a great site but I have a non Hamb car now. Its a 2001 Mustang with cobra stuff on it and this coming winter its going to get a turbo. Thanks for all the help especially HotRod Michelle.

    The new owner was younger than me so I would bet that he will. His ideas where different than mine like lowering the s..t out of it by channeling. I have to call him because he was full of p.ss & vinegar. I know this crappy picture isn't Hamb friendly but ...
