Roadster rebuild- Its about time!! *frame build tech?*

very nice work

 

All my dimensions are whacked-out as I am trying to do something different. For anyone looking for factory dimensions, try Wescott's website. That's where I got all mine. T-'34. Thay have nice blueprints of frames that you can download and print-out.

I will tell you that from the forward most point of the front x-member to the firewall is 34". You will need to add about 4" to that if your rad. is on top of your x-member. And the width at the frt. axle center line is stock 26 1/4" At the outsides. Other than that I haven't made any other decisions. The rear kick isn't done yet.

My wheelbase has been determined to be 96 1/2". That's 7" shorter than stock Model A. That's due to my body being a hodge podge of panels and the cowl being chopped down/ smooth firewall, and the rad. thing. I think it still looks great. It's even hard to tell how short it is, untill it goes next to another one I'm sure. 3 friends came over and said it looks "more traditional" than it did before. They had no idea about the length difference untill I told them.

I will try to give more specifics though. I will answer any question you throw my way too.

 

Hey, Mike.......thank you forposting these changes to your roadster.....your new frame is going to be (I hate this word) *awesome*.......your welding skills are top shelf, man! I'd give a lot to be able to fab and weld like you can!! You GO Mike!

See you at the shows!

Looking good !

 

Thanks Glen! Check out the other updates.

 

can't wait to see more!

 

Thanks. That is perfect. I have designed and started on my own frame and I was just curious because I have my lay out and dimensions minus the fire wall forward. this is a big help.

sweet work dude. Removable tranny mounts are always nice, and a little bit of math and figuring goes a long way in the looks department. keep em posted!
