  7. What's wrong with the original frame? Hard to beat with that big X in the middle of it.

    1954 Pontiac Chieftan. Fat Man front end, GM crate motor, 700R Trans, Vintage hear/air. Interior is redone, but basically stock and no extra power equipment except for GM steering column.

    Nothings wrong with the frame just wanted to do a custom air ride frame I'm just kind of gathering the parts to get it started but hopefully before the new year I will be starting the frame I'm waiting on a friend of mine to finish up with the frame table but like the pics (the chief) frame is great I'm trying to keep it pretty original on the outside but underneath all new modern stuff I will be starting a build threat as soon as I get started so feel free to follow and comment as I go thanks
