    I wanted to show everyone how I'm coming along on my 34 rebuild.
    Right now repairing the frame by replacing sections that were damaged in the past. Most of the damage is from some poorly done modifications in the past.

    It is always nice to see someone save an old Ford frame. I always prefer the original frame to the repo's. Nice start.

    Nice work! I agree, it is always best to use original frames. Good to see another 34 Ford build in the works.

    Thanks for the compliments.
    I'm glad I stayed with the original frame and didn't go with many suggestions to buy new rails. I know that it fits the car.

    I'm liking that nice and simple ch***is. I'd like to see more on that rotisserie setup though. That is a work of art in it's self and I like the idea of the hydraulic rams to raise it up to work height.

    Im right a $500 for the build including paint which I haven't installed yet.
    I got the free plans from FroznMerc here on the HAMB. He ok'd me sending out a copy to anyone who would like a set.
    Just email me at john@drakepacific.net and I will send you a copy.
