    I have a 47 Frazer that has been cut and choped and is now a RPU. I have made a fiberglass carson style top for it and would now like to make plans to modify the original frame so I can resess the floor down so I will sit lower in the car... Head room is fine, I just want to be lower in the car... My seats are already on the floor with no adjusters. Any ideas...

    The car runs so this will brobably be a next winter project... I am aleady planing to rplace the floor so what the heck...;)

    Well, I'll suggest the obvious. Have you comred the measurements of the Frazer to a Caprice? That's the perenial favorite. We talked about using one of those on the '48 delivery I have. You evne said back then that those could easily be adjusted in length and width fairly easily.

    You could be REALLY different and make your own X-chassis like the 64 Chevies have. That would be different. You could probably take the body much lower that way too. There was pix ealier this week or last of an A-bone that was so low that the tranny/driveshaft tunnel was almost window high. Now that's low. I'll try to find the pic's post #.

    The X frame is way out of the question... I want the floor to sit down inbetween the rails of the frame

    Get a May STREET RODDER and look at the Model A article staring on page 96.
    It's a tube space frame that you sit IN.
    Copy frame at Frazier scale...
