Model A 32 Rails Hemi Build

This is how it looked when I brought it home

 

Reshaping 32 rails

 

Frame starting to take shape.

 

GREAT body to start with! I plan on putting my '30 roadster body on '32 rails with a 354 HEMI. Never seen anyone cut a new ch***is up like that, what is the reason?

 

Dude NICE! I'd like to come see that sometime! If you ever need a hand let me know.

 

I had to narrow the 8inch Ford to get the look I was after.

 

I made a layout on a sheet of plywood to double check the ladder bars before I welded them up.

 

Rear end mocked up .

 

Ladder Bars, shocks and spring mounts.

 

Set the body on for a test fit, I still have to modify front sub rails to drop the front. How does the rear wheel look in the wheel well?

 

perfect!

 

nice project look forward to see how this one plays out.

 

Thanks , I'm in Belle Ch***e, What part of New Orleans are you located in?

 

I cut up the rails so they would fit the model A body a little better. No one will probably even notice the changes other than the pinch at the cowl.

 

Are, or rather were, those rails flat top and where...might I ask...did you get them?

 

ASC Rails not flat top, I still have to modify front subrail to drop the front of the body a little.

 

Thank you and it is looking KILLER!!

 

Wow, man that thing looks AWESOME! GREAT body to start out with, wish mine was in that condition when I started. Love the way you cut the rails to fit the body better, there was a car a few years back called "Mr. Yuck" that had a similar, but not identical way of mounting the body to the frame. I always wondered if he cut the frame to match the body better, and after seeing this I think he did. Looks great! And the Hemi-I'm envious! Keep us posted

 

Thanks, I raised the motor 3 inches today and it looks alot better.

 

that thing is looking good!!!!

 

Built the motor mounts today,I made a lay out first to make sure everything was going to work before I cut and tacked together.

 

Worked on the frame crossmembers ,motor mounts and transmission mount today, I'm going to try and have it ready for next years Lone Star Round Up.
