    Customer and friend asked me to build him a Tardel/Bishop style frame. Couldn't leave well enough alone.

    Figured while I was at it, I might try and do a full bolt in 32 Style K-member kit to go with the new rear legs people had been bugging me for.

    Doing my best to have examples done by the LA Roadster Show.

    What about doing one 7-1/2" longer so you can use a spring behind style axle?

    Not building the frame, just the center bits. They would work the same if you lengthen the frame.

    Or are you asking for a possible kit to stretch the rear crossmember back?
