    hey guys and gals,

    im in the phase of buying parts for a neat 35 Dodge that ill be building soon. got a few questions...

    does anybody know what size cross member i would need for to replace the original front end? ill be going with an air bag set up.

    onto the rear end, plans are to run a Hemi mill and frankly im not familiar with them, while its not time to install the motor id like to know if the rear end should be off a certain car? also if anybody knows what size width rear end?

    Not sure how close the frames are, but I used a Welder Series MII crossmember, with stock height spindles on this car, it is a '37 Plymouth. The frame on the '37 is kicked up a lot, so the crossmember had to be placed pretty low. Even then, drop spindles were not required. Worked so well, it passed road inspection, in Germany, where it now lives.

    That one also got a 1958 Chevy rear end, and a 4-link.
