Categories: Project Updates
We have done a few projects for Shawn Baer over the years – you have all seen the sanitary little ’31 on deuce rails from a few years back – well Baer is back to the table for another project. This time is is a flathead Ford powered ’32 5w, 3speed, closed drive, ’40 rear, unsplit bone, ’40 brakes, etc. We are doing some out of the box things to dress the frame up a bit – We aren’t boxing the frame, only small sections near the center crossmember to tighten those areas up a bit, and will follow up with some rivets for good measure. We’ve pancaked a ’37 rear crossmember since this car will not be running a Quick-change, and a few more trick touches down the road – stay tuned….

- ’37 crossmember allows us to use a straight ’35-40 rear spring

- This will be the same Ride Height as a ’33-34 Crossmember, without having to use the curved spring
-
- ’37 Crossmember – pancaked 4″
-
- Minimal Boxing – stepped inside the Rail
-
- Front Box/Gusset Detail – Engine Mounts attach here also, covering most of the boxing
-
- Hole for Rosette Weld – Rivet will follow
-
- The front foot gives a stock appearance from the front of the grille area

- To simulate a stock A X-member, we added front feet on the repro, trying to make it look stamped that way
