This is a new project, a ‘32 frame, with the pinchwork for a model A body. Instead of pinching the frame drastically, we re-contour the rails themselves, before any boxing or cross members are added. This chassis will be receiving a ‘31 coupe body, with a 59A flathead, 3 speed, closed drive with a Rodsville quickchange -
-
- Recontoured At the Cowl Area, rails are shaped here to head forward to the front crossmember at the right width
-
- Here the Rails is Curved in at the Door area – pinched here to the make the Cowl Area narrower
-
- Pinch @ Rear Wheel Well Opening – This is where the ‘32 frame slips up inside the A body – Insted of a step here, we sweep the rails in and back as if they were stamped this way
-
- View of Cowl Area Rail Recontouring – 120 relief cuts PER Rail – Here you can see it trun in at the door, then turn back out at the cowl – smoothly, as if they were stamped this way.
-
