    I got a 32 ford 4dr body but no frame. I'd rather build one but does anyone have any frame designs I can get or what I just want a z-frame to make it as low as possible plus I'm new to this site so give me a break lol thanks
     
  2. One of the best things about a '32 is the frame. There are companies that sell the side rails- would give you a much-less-expensive start!

    A 32 body is one of the few cars that almost demand a 32 frame under it. The body and frame just go together like peanut butter and jelly. :)

    You can get a pair of repop side rails in the $ 700 range and then add crossmembers to get it the way you want it. The only downside is that you say you want it "as low as possible" and there are limitations when using a deuce frame. Generally, if you want a ground scraper you will need something that is Z'd.

    ...and another.

    BANG

    Or if you truly just want a z-ed frame to get it as low as possible, buy a couple of sticks of 2x4.
