Technical Roadster inner frame

I thought I remember that someone manufactured a steel frame to install in a steel '32 roadster body behind the seat area. Anyone know who that was ? Thanks Terry

 

Steadfast makes a set for putting a Model A body on a '32 frame. Is that what you were thinking of? Of course Brookfield makes the standard replacement parts.

I'm talking about a steel tubing structure that adds some strength and safety to the stock steel body. Usually it would give you a location to mount safety belts etc.

 

I have a picture saved from here. Ionia Hot Rod Shop made it. Dunno' if kit, or custom. There's threads here, where people have made their own. Here's the pic'.

New Age Motorsports builds a nice tubular structure for their glass five window. Hope it provides some ideas for your roadster.

That Ionia Hot Rod shop setup looks killer!

I’ll be watching this thread, I’m sure some good things have been done to deuces!

 

Not trying to be lazy, but do to health reasons I was looking for a premade unit. I'll try Ionia shop. Thanks......

 

This is what I made for my 34, hope this helps

Kilbourn Rod Shop in Illinois uses this in their fiber glass bodies. 1x1 box tubing.

Any suppliers ?

 

Don't know if Walden's would make this for you. Ask?

The 'bends' in the square tubing are the key. Can they be done easily? (for you)
If so, the fabrication is a breeze. If no wire welder, a 110 volt 150 amp welder will do it.
Hopefully, you can find a mfr. with the pre-fitted inner frame. But it looks 'iffy'...

 

we dont offer a pre made kit but we could make you one. we would just need the car or your measurements.

 

Can't believe someone doesn't make one for the roadsters.

 

Here is another source to check

Here's a nice 'how to do it':

I can't find anyone who builds the structure for you to adapt to your body.
