    Oh Shit I better take my Model A off the road, because I am a farmer and we all know about farmer repairs. I will put my frame up against any one Don the farmer Hot Rodder. I like the sound of that!!

    yep you said it! my old 31 was 2x3 behind the firewall, 2x4 up front tapered to 2x3 to a 3in d.o.m suicide font crossmember and 4 in dropped stock axle, channeled 2.5in. motor mounted low with oil pan and frame rail 4in off ground. 12in notch in back with triangle 4 link and coil overs. 650 16s in front 750 16s rear. scrub line haha lets just say hope i dont get a flat and thats a good reasion not to make and sell a frame like this. its not practical. i also used a 28-29 A grill and radiator because its a lot shorter, and yes its "back yard built" id also like to say it had a 4 speed manual, im 6 ft tall, it sucked to drive, and im happy its gone haha.

  5. Well I did't build mine in the back yard, but close. My shop behind the house.
    I took a completely stock original A frame. Boxed it with 1/4" plate. (wayyyy over kill) 158.jpg 156.jpg Kicked it 8" in the back and pinched it at the cowl.
    So far, so good.

    What am I supposed to take up with him?

    The fact I'm sick of listening to groupies hang from his balls like he's a god?

    Or that I don't care for his billet or steam punk style?
