1932 After market Frame rails So I've been working on my 5 window 32, and some of the holes on the aftermarket frame rails don't line up with the stock firewall feet. I was wondering if this is a usual problem with new frame rails that I'm not aware of. I have a jig and everything, however, most of the frame/body mount holes don't line up(some are off by miles). I know that it isn't the firewall feet and floor that are messed up, because they all match my dad's original frame. I'm wondering if this is only a problem with early reproduction rails. I'm 13 and just learning how to fabricate with my dad. Thanks - Parker
Here is a diagram with all the hole locations. You could check to see if the ones in your rails match up. http://www.wescottsauto.com/WebCatalog/Tech/FrameDiagram1932.pdf
At 13, beware of girls... they have skyboshed more than one up and coming builder... girls are great but get the thing on the road before you go over the edge...
Who’s rails? Those who build a lot of them may know the scoop. Heck, at 13 I was begging my dad to let me change plugs by myself, and you’re building a ‘32!
My son uses mine all the time to look and read on here, as i stay logged in all the time. Wouldn't be surprised.
No, I'm a 13yr. Sorry for the confusion. I enter in 1988, so the website would let me make an account. Just in case I was too young.
I sell '32 FOMOCO frame prints on the HAMB for over 20 years. Better than Wescotts. More details & measurements. 1932 frame print is $50.50 + S/H to your zip code----IF you are intrested----Don
Ha! Welcome! I also started at 13, gas welding through my first top chop, my '36 Three window. I didn't find my '32 'til I was 16!
The kid is trying to learn a bit and you want to make money off of him ? $50 dollars is alot for a 13 year old. Kinda like dangling the carrot in front of a caged rabbit.
Hey Deuce Daddy Don, I thought you had a special rate for rodders under 18 years old. Pshaw, I will be watching your build!
