Bare naked!

They say that beauty is skin deep. There are a lot of chassis covered up by bodies and unfortunately they never get seen except by the owner/builder. A lot of planning has gone into these works of art.

Gentlemen, show us that naked chassis! This one isn't mine, but it sure looks sweet.

 

Thats cornhuskers no?

 

Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly is all the way to the bone!!
I will be glad when the sheetmetal covers up my chassis.
CHAZ

 

As much work I put into mine it was hard to cover it up with a body.

 

and like people some are ugly too and i;m just kinda homly

 

okay I will play

 

Here's a pic of our tribute's frame being assembled by the boys over at A & M.

 

The point of this thread?

 

The point is that 6 years ago Fred wanted to see the chassis/framework beneath the hot rod.

 

The point of bringing up a 7 year old thread to ask the point of the thread?

by his profile he is only 17 , that pretty much explains it

 

So.....where's the beef?

Lots of hot rods have good looking chassis underneath involving a lot of
engineering and work. I don't think this thread is any farther in left
field than many others.

 

He wanted to see soumthin Nekked.............

 

The point is about the same as this thread

Only this thread got a lot more traction (11 pages) than Fred's thread here.
There's SO much detail I'm these older frames. You'll likely never know that from experiences under a 65 nova.

Now what is your point bumping a 6 year old thread , to enlighten us with your 17 years of wisdom? Fred posted this when you were just getting finished with potty training.

 

One of mine... I'll try to find the other ones!

 

mine

 

here is a naked one

 

What's the point of resurrecting a 6 year old post and asking what's the point? HRP

 

I get lots of ideas, from looking at how others have solved similar problems, and functional machinery is nice to look at.

 

Here are some shots of the bare chassis - just painted back in 2004.

Charlie

 

I think he did a search of the word "naked" and this is all he could find. That must have pissed him off , since he's a horny 17 year old.

 

Here's one of mine from a few years ago. I don't take many pictures

 

... bet he tracked down every Fred post just to stare at the profile picture.... I know I do!

 

Yes! I actually had to google that young lady to find out more....and find some uncensored photos.

 

I was thinking the EXACT same thing. The only way I could think he'd dig this one up.

Love the pics. Went to a show last year where a guy trailered his finished chassis roller. Was more pristine than 1/2 the cars, got twice the looks!!

Motor/trans had not yet been installed when this photo was taken ... but I wanna play too ... so here's all I got!

 

This was my 1934 Ford Tudor chassis, my first street rod, that was built in 1987.
It had a Jag rear end, 350 / 350 Chevy. The fuel injection base was from a early Corvette with dual side draft Weber carbs. The distributor was in the way of the stock firewall so I moved it over and forward by the use of an offset drive. The entire exhaust system was coated in black porcelain except the S/S mufflers. Most everything was either chromed, or polished S/S or aluminum. I did most of the polishing myself.
The brake and fuel lines were hidden inside the frame rails.
The rear crossmember I built, it used two coilover shocks and to Levelizer shock that Carrera made. They would always keep the car at the same height even when people were in the back seat.
