Deuce frame with Model A front frame horns...

Clean look, but without the spreader bar...anyone got more pics of 32 hiboy frames with stock Model A front frame horns?...not looking for molded front frame horns...

 

is this thing on...

 

Tough Crowd today

 

Hmmmmm!

 

It's on Larry,,just not too many people that cut off perfectly good Deuce horns and replace with Model A's.... HRP

 

When was Larry kicked out of The Rolling Bones?

 

Only Larry would do something like that

 

Larry,are you off your med's again? HRP

 

I love that car. I'd paint it if it were mine, but I love it. I often go back and stare at it in TRJ.

However, I only have a Model A with Model A frame horns. Sorry...

 

My brother's 28 RPU project on 32 rails has Model A horns...





The 32 horns were already cut off, so he grafted on the model A front section, including front crossmember.

maybe that was were Larry was going,,if your frame horns were missing,,and to be honest with the photo Neil added it looks pretty good. HRP

 

I think it looks great,an improvement even. I have done it before, but I never took pictures then.Good luck finding some more pictures.

I knew I wasn't alone...yes, I may be off my meds but I like the look.

...and you don't scratch your paint on the longer deuce frame horns when you run into the curb at the convienence store...it hits the tires instead...

 

I never really noticed. But it does look kinda different. In a cool way.

 

Does anybody else think the backdrop on that first image Larry posted really bitchin? I do.

"puffy little clouds"

 

Here's one I found just now..

 

Hard to see the deuce frame under the body, so the before picture is included..




And another one of Neal's brother's RPU..

 

Another one..




Not sure if these are actually A horns or just bobbed.

 

Damn that's a GREAT look!

HRP, I'd never thought of or considered it before, thank for sharing the idea!!!

 

I did it on my RPU as well. I also did it on my 34 frame. They look so much better than than stock 32/34 frame horns. Personal preference I suppose. A much sleeker profile indeed.

 

I'm not HRP, but yer welcome...

 

That's one of those things that never crosses most guys minds but looks hell for good when you actually see it.

 

Larry,is not quiet as tall as me! HRP

 

I didn't find any deuces in my stash that had the A horns. There were a couple that had the ends rounded off and capped, but none that were short like the As.. No Ts either. I'd be interested in seeing more too!

 

Doesn't Scritches or Baskervilles roadster have "A" front frame horns?

howie

 

Back up.

 

Here's the differnce, the rusty one is Model A repair piece and the new is ASC '32 rails. The frame is aligned to the rivet holes for the crossmember.

 

In the above pics are you using the model A horns for a template to mark the ASC 32 rails to trim to the model A shape or are you actually grafting in the "A" horns? From the pic it looks close enough to mark and reshape the tip of the 32 horns.
