    Hello All
    I amazingly found a 28-31 Model A Frame for sale close to home the other day so i picked it up and brought it home and am getting ready to make it usable again.
    The Bad news is the radiator/spring cross member is broke up real bad :( and would take Alot work to get wielded back togeather and im still not sure i would trust it with much weight, my question is does anyone have or know where i can find measurments for the thing to build one? (buying one isent an option right now) or another option to mounting the spring back in that area.?..i pefer not to go with a suicide set up due to this being a first build and am not wanting to get to fancy :)

    any help you could provide would be of great benifit and help to me

    Again thank you all for your help and patience i promise the results will be worth the trouble :)

    If the cars is a stocker, repair the one you have. They seem to work harden in use, but if you have a good welder do the job, they hold up well when repaired properly. If you do it yourself, work slowly, take your time, do your best, and if it doesnt work out, you had some welding practice, and you learned something.
