Z'd Model A Frames?

Anyone Interested In Something Like This?

 

did you take that picture in my brain? I'll be making something like that in the future, both in solidworks then the real thing, but i didnt plan on z'ing the front. nice work though

 

Are you planning on building and selling these rails?
If so... maybe.

 

yes i am going to build some , just a matter of time, probably somewhere around 2200 for a perimeter frame witha trick suicide spring perch

 

Just a suggestion... I wouldn't put a port right at the "knuckles/bends" of that rear Z'd section. Use COSMO works (since you have SolidWorks) and look at the stresses in that area. Just my $.02...

Also, are you pinching these frames? Custom dimensions to customer's specs? What wall thickness and are the ports filled? What suspension? Etc. etc...

 

ok will look into that , 11 ga wall same for the holes, dcr

 

11 ga?? Are these 2x4 or 2x3 rails? Welded or DOM?

 

I just modeled a frame in Pro-E the other dat too. I just did it to figure some angles and heights though. Very nice work with the holes.

 

2x4 11 ga welded, cant buy square tubing dom that i know of.

 

Didn't realize you could get it in 11 ga, that's why I asked. Thought .125" wall was typical. Just curious. Not trying to beat ya' up or anything.

 

well, 11ga youre talking like .120 - .125 , so really its the same thing to the naked eye, until you mic it.,,,DCR

 

I'm gonna jump in here. I just had DC make me a set of boxed model A frame rails. I am very pleased with them. Everything is straight and where it should be. Today we mocked them up and they look killer! Welcome to the HAMB DC!

 

thanks for the kind words, nice to know my work is appreciated. DCR

 

I'll post some pics next week, but it's gonna look good. Frame is nice and strong, I have no doubt it'll handle the hemi.

 

BTTT for ya'. Would also like to see some pics.

Cheers!

 

I am working on this:
