Probably not. No idea where they came from. Today's frames are brass.
Brigrat, Pics attached per your request. The glass body of this '36 was made by either Patrick Mooney or Mike Morris, in your state. Originally...
Not sure of all the details on my '36 as it was built in the early 80's and not by me. It has what looks like a 3" forged, dropped, axle, four bar...

Looking onto getting to the GRNS. Gonna get the book one way or the other. Rik, you are amazing!
When distance from the tank was a problem, I've wrapped the tailpipe with that header wrap material. Might not be pretty, but it works.
Attended one of Gene's seminars in Spartanburg, S.C. to see how he chopped a '40 Merc coupe. Went home and promptly cut into my '40 Ford coupe....
50 fraud, I like where you're going with your '39. Proportions are good. I've attached a crappy photo of my '40. I channeled it 5", chopped it 3",...
Transmissioncenter.net (PATC0) has a calculator that shows a drive gear of 15 teeth and a driven gear of 40 teeth. They also have all the gears...

Here's photos of the above axle and kit. Ralph
I might be kinda late with this info but, maybe it'll be helpful for someone with an early Dodge axle ( I'm not sure of the vintage of my tubular...
Need louvers is totallycorrect. They don't fit well and they're not adjustable.
Here's a photo of discs with '35 Ford wires, although the wheels aren't too visible. The discs are Chevy and the Ford wheels have a 5 1/2" bolt...
I bought an upright oval tank from them. Installed it, filled it with gas, and it leaked! Had to empty it, clean it, and seal it.(I had already...
Comes in handy on foggy mornings, like this morning.
Years ago Gene Winfield came to South Carolina to put on a two day seminar on chopping the top of a '40 Merc coupe. I attended it and probably...
Here's a '24 I built maybe 20 years ago. Had a hot iron duke 4 cyl with Pontiac super duty head and side-draft Webers. Rear was chromed Jaguar E-type.
I agree with nix, whatever he said. Creative work!
Here's a rough one. '58 Chevy Impala. I'm guessing it was stolen a long time ago, driven into the woods and stripped. Many years later, the town...
Back when I had my '32 cabrio with a sbc I drove it to Florida. When I got there I heard a clicking sound and thought sure I'd gotten a lifter...
Love that '32. Brings me back to my childhood. I've attached a pic of my channeled '32 five window I built in 1953. At the time I lived in the...
cleatus, I'm sorry but I don't have any other photos of the '40. Right now it's on a lift in a shop getting new carrier bearings. However, if you...
roddinron, That's why I asked the question about skirts. Guess my '40 in my avatar is better qualified for this thread. I agree about the amber...
No, that's not what JB asked for. He wanted recent customs done in the style that was popular in California in 1948-52. In fact, his thread...
Royalshifter, Please explain your statement about earlier thread. Thanks.
This roadster was built in SoCal about 1980. It originally had skirts. Can't decide if it needs skirts again or leave it as is. I did add the...
What an outstanding collection of old iron. Makes me want to return to my roots. Yeah, I'm a Swede.
