Projects New Project

Thanks for letting me join your group. Just purchased a 29 five window for my first street rod project. Looking for recommendations for a rolling chassis as opposed to modifying the original.

@Jigger ...................this coupe looks like your drawing

 

Thanks. That is one I was considering. Also one from Rjays speed shop in MO.

 

That's a nice looking coupe. Welcome to the HAMB!

 

Thank you.

 

This is the 57 I completed a couple years ago

 

welcome...

 

Thanks

 

Welcome to the HAMB from Illinois.
I'll be watching your A build.

 

Very nice 57 also.

 

Whats a street rod? Jk, welcome!

 

Thanks for the welcome.

 

Welcome to the HAMB Jim!

 

Cut it up.. sell the rest to the restorer crowd..

 

Thank you.

 

That’s the plan. Have the entire chassis and drive train spoken for.

 

I don't recommend a different chassis if yours is intact. The A chassis is a good foundation and easy to work with.

Unless of course you found a deuce chassis that would be cool.

 

Beans.

 

Your avatar doesn't say where you hail from but remember your title numbers go with the frame.

 

duece rails ? Hemi ? Channeled ? Hot Rod Flatz ? 36 Ford Dash ? Tri Power ? Kaiser tail lights.......oh Spinners....

 

Buy this book. It is your blueprint

 

Thank you. From CT. Non title state. Already registered the car. Numbers will definitely end up on the new frame though. What a job I had registering it. Had no ownership proof for at least the last ten years. Hadn’t been registered in New York since 2007. Buyers of “Barn finds” beware.

 

Thank you. I’ll definitely look for it.

 

Make sure the numbers are obscured on the old frame and engine before you sell it. Hate to get a call from the DMV saying there's another car with your numbers, and they can show the officer the proper stamped frame rails.

 

Consider it done

 

alchemy gives you good advice. A buddy of me put his model A coupe on a 1932 Ford chassis after selling his original engine to an engine re-builder. The engine was installed in another person's model A coupe and the restorer used the engine number to get the restored car registered. 2 years later the Mass. Registry contact my buddy and gave him the bad news. It took more than 2 years to get everything straightened out. If you live in Connecticut, PM me for info if needed.

 

Or do like I did and stash my factory rails in the rafters

 

Thanks for the info. Heard of nightmares like this before.
