    I got a 26 model t coupe body and I’m not able to build the frame myself, the Speedway frame looks like a good starting point. This will be a light duty car with a four cylinder engine.<O:p</O:p

    I used one about 10 yrs ago on my 27 T coupe and it worked out well.. I channeled the body down over it.. I ran a SBC with and automatic and it was fine even on the highway.. I bought the longer wheelbase version, not the T-bucket one and I recommend the longer wheelbase...

    No rust and totally complete. The completely restored chassis and engine will be for sale.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:eek:ffice:eek:ffice" /><o:p></o:p>

    Looks great! I'd wondered if their frames were up to snuff. Thanks for posting.
