    Keep the pics coming,,i have to either modify the frame I have or build one using 2x4 square stock...I think it would be easier if not faster to build than to modify and box the 42 K2 I have,,,it's got some rot and maybe a bend in the rear
     
  14. Here is pictures of mine. Not real fancy, but it works for me. 2x4 tube model A front
    cross menber, & rear kick up.

    Here's some pics of a frame and rails I fabbed a couple of years ago. The rails were made from .125 flat cold roll. Here's a link to the details on construction for those who missed it.

    The car is done and is torn-down for finishing (fun stuff is over!) The front radial tire are just temporary.

    The wheels and tires were purchased from a fellow HAMBer by the customer in Sacramento, don't know their name.

    Here's a pic of the frame that's under my sedan right now. I just made a little ch***is table recently so I could build a new one. Might slip it under my sedan or save it for another project. I wanted to try my hand at sweeping and pinching a ch***is and it turned out pretty good.

    model A frame I built about 20 years ago,for a customer.stock mustang 2 stuff up front,80s malabu 10 bolt with stock 4 link arms. brake ,fuel ,trans. lines run inside the frames tubing. stainless fuel tank under p***. side,battery, brakes under drivers. frame is same hight as running board skirts.The body also got a lot of steel reinforcement .a little bit heavy ,but solid as hell. Dave, the owner, has around 30 thousand miles on it since I built it. Its held up well. He finally got better looking wheels for it,so were going to re do the flames in more traditonal colors, maybe pearl white into candy orange , do the rims orange too. Old Buzz Pics141.jpg
