Found ya, looking forward to watching your build
Will do, looking forward to some more pics of your build.
It's not pictured but it's a sandwich flange, there's one on the inside of the frame that gets welded to the snout and the outside is a stainless...

[ATTACH] Got the fan mount generator fitted, we machined off the front and rear mounts that originally mounted this gen, not sure what it came...
[ATTACH] Also picked up a mill/lathe combo, not very often a piece of machinery like this is seen coming through the woods.
[ATTACH] Went on a road trip up to the bridge and picked up a quarter panel, only catch was we had to buy everything. Garage sale coming soon...
[ATTACH] F1 front shock mounts cut and located using the two front crossmember rivet holes.
[ATTACH] Ended up boxing the rear of the frame where we stepped it, 1/8" plate cut to fit inside the frame.
[ATTACH] The new half "k" member did the trick, no pedal movement. We currently have a 39' clutch arm but the geometry of it doesn't quite fit...
[ATTACH] After bolting everything back together and hooking up the clutch it was evident the three bolts at the crossmember were not going to be...
[ATTACH] Glad these welds will be mostly hidden :oops:
[ATTACH] After seeing how much the radius rod mounts flexed under load we decided to make some gussets in lieu of boxing a section of the frame.
Yep, you just inspired me to keep the originals on my A.
[ATTACH] Sorry guys its been a minute since our last post, I promise we haven't been slackin', we spent most of our spare time this year building...
At this point we're just using the original three, the next time we have the engine/trans back in the car we will install the clutch and see how...
Nice, happy to see the flathead is going in it.
[ATTACH] As most of you know the F1 crossmember is taller than the A frame so we cut a V out of it and heated it up and bent it to match the...
[ATTACH] Bent a piece of flat stock and tacked in place [ATTACH] What it looks like with everything in place
Been a while since we've been in the shop, now that the weather has been decent we're building a cabin on our family's property but we got rained...
Out of all her matchbox cars her favorite is a '32 roadster, she's on the right track
Actually she asked to "go up to the shop" when she woke up from her nap, mostly because she knows there's junk food up there to snack on, mom was...
[ATTACH] Had a little helper tonight while disassembling everything, anybody seen my 1/4" Snap-on wrench?
[ATTACH] The front side of the original crossmember will be cut out and a new lip welded on to accommodate for the master cylinder.
[ATTACH] The final location of the pedal assembly, pay no attention to the swiss cheese holes....
[ATTACH] Got the pedals mounted and bent around the steering column, brake pedal looks weird but that's because its just laying down, they're both...
Thanks, initially we weren't but the more I see it flex the more I want to box it, I've always liked the look of an unboxed frame but do realize...
You can search by year and make, lots to choose from most have new PPG codes. I just seen FORTY 6 already posted the site, I almost thought I was...
I'm wanting to go with a vintage gray as well, I came across this website...
