    I just bought a 1930 Chevrolet 2door sedan having trouble finding body parts and frame. I am looking for new sheet metal body panels and a new frame. I can find a lot of stuff for model A's but not so much for Chevrolet. If someone could help me out with websites it will be awesome!! Thanks

    i think you may find yourself buying more and more model a parts for that body if u buying new.
     
  4. Will keep an eye out for you for parts- there are bowties around, just not as plentiful!
     
  5. Oh, '29 and '30 share the same frame :)

    What was wrong with the frame you got with it? It looked pretty decent in the pics.

    Thanks for the help guys I'll definitely check out them websites. My frame isn't that bad I just was going to use a new one for time reasons. The more I think about it I might just use the frame I have. I already got new rails and box them in. Little confused on how far the kick up I need to do for the look I'm going for that just means more homework for me lol.I just got to get my frame right before I go channeling! But thanks again for all the help all of you!!

    I used the original frame on my 33. I boxed it and added the new cross members. Good luck with your build.

    I have a 1930 Coach and know what you mean. I just search the internet regularily. I do have an extra dash and grille shell if you are interested.

    I have a '31 Chevy and generally as time p***es, there is more and more reproduction stuff out there but NOT for old Chevies...it's going the other way...the filling station just told me a month ago they used to sell new steel front fenders but they sold the tooling for s****?
    And they will take my money for steel splash aprons but not sure when if ever they would be stamping new parts...best bet is to watch for good used steel or go with fibergl***.

    Hello, I have Hood and Sides Sheet Metal. if Hot rodding, it might be easier to build your own frame with dimensions. You will need to box frame for added power. I am attempting to update mine without box first go round. Doug 309-364-9300 shop

    You would be better off to buy mine...............and make one super car. Mine is complete with new speedway axle up front, and 55 chevy rear out back.
