I’m looking for some pictures and advice on putting a 32’ style tank on my 31’ Model A 5 Window Coupe. I was told I would have to cut up my rear sub frame channel… help please. Joe
no clue what a rear sub frame channel is on a model A, but get your tank those are the diminsion's you will work with rear frame rail piece's off a bobbed 32 frame are easy to find or buy a kit.it's been done so many times that yes they make a kit
If you have an A coupe body on a stock 32 frame, then the rear subrail across the back needs to be cut. On a full fendered A, you can build frame extension and mount the tank below the rear subrail, it’ll be lower than a tank on a 32 coupe. There was a company that made a kit to do that.
Here is how we did it on our glass 29 roadster body. you can see that the body needs notched for both the frame and the tank. This is on a stock dimension 32 frame. Since it was glass, we just cut it out and glued it back in. But i will be doing the same on my 31 sedan with 32 tank in the rear. Get yourself a tank and put it on you 32 frame, start measuring and slicing the body up to fit.
