1926 1927 ford roadsters on dodge frames

'28-'31 Chevy frame rails are excellent. They have the shape, height of rail in the center, and conform to '26-'27 and Model A bodies.

As my son said, (RichTinSanazay) I've fitted late-'20s to early '30s Dodge rails to '27 T's, very similar to '32 Ford rails, but without the reveal.

I would say you have a handle on which way to go, judging from your considerations regarding proportions, practical application, etc.
But I always try and take a rail that will fit solidly, and has a profile to compliment the body being used.
Sounds like you are on the same 'page'...

 

Very close to one another as far as frame rails if not identical.

 

Iv seen one that is on dodge rails
I gentleman in Paradise ca owns it …. It hasn’t been out in years and is an original old hot rod I believe.
I think his name is Dave … he does friction shocks and Lincoln brake stuff.
Yellow w hot A or B motor … it has a really cool hinged windshield using 31 parts I believe.

 

Could you point me in the direction of this car? I've been thinking about doing something similar with a 1931 Chevy chassis that I have and would like to see what it looks like.


Thanks.

(I haven't come up with anything using the search function yet)

 

i have been looking for the photo of the 27 ford roadster on a 32 chevy frame but have not found it again on the hamb. it was red with a black frame. there was a lot of exhaust soot on the side of the roadster.

 

it sure seems that there is a real shortage of 20s and 30s mopar frames in Minnesota.

 

Here is a 28 Chevy frame.http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=16485&pictureid=351484 I know its not a Dodge. Just thought it would help.

 

not able to view photo

 

I assume you already have an early Dodge frame. If not look at a 1980/82 Dodge D50 pickup chassis. I have a 1928 Dodge Victory Six Coupe on a 1980 Dodge D50 Chassis. The stock frame has a nice drop on both ends. It also has curved frame rails and actually fits inside the body. As you might guess I cut both ends off and welded frame horns on the front.

 

i am building a highboy roadster. the pickup chassis would not have the look i want.

 

anyone have anyone have prints of diagrams for 1931 and 1932 dodge passenger car frames. looking for prints that are some what like wescotts has for the 32 ford frame

 

Pictures,??? sounds interesting....
