    Plans are 30/31 Model A coupe chopped and channeled, with a DeSoto Hemi for power.

    I'll start a build thread for it once I get the frame and get started.

    and by the way I invented the question mark????

    Pete Eastwood built a couple of frames with that front "sweep" over 20 years ago.

    Just to be clear..... I'm not claiming to have invented ANYTHING..... Of course this has all been done before........ I have seen pictures of old "adjustible" perches and they rule.... Kicking up frames to make cars lower has been around as long as cars themselves........ The thing I love about about early Hot rods is the fact that every one was different and the builders pushed the bar and truly were inventive..... I can't get enough of them.

    I have developed a SPECIFIC way of building these frames and making the sweep....
    Calling it the Bleed "Sweep" was just Joke and somehow it stuck. I'm still entertained by it......haha its kind of rediculous.

    When I saw the****le of this post and the fact that the frame Eric was offering was extremely similar to frames that I make I got defensive. I took it personally and I was WRONG. I really am sorry.

    Eric prvides a great service to alot of people and he made a really nice frame.... I've bought stuff from him and he is always top notch.


    Its all good because I have some new frames I'm working on......

    One is the "TRIPLE Z" frame......... just because its "ONE" better than the Double Z.

    Its going to be called the "Zoro Twist" and come with a custom whip.

    Drive your HOT Rod and whip your "Betty" haha

    Another one is to make the Reverse sweep called the "Slant"
    This frame will raise your Model A at least 4 inches....


    Anyway have a good day I look forward to that frame becoming a car..... Good luck!
