Re: Replacing '40 Frame?
Guys in my local V8 club are split on which way to go also. From my side, the car would be on the road in far less time using the distressed frame, but it's like an inferiority complex knowing what lies beneath. Hard to pass on what could be such a sanitary frame to put with a nice body. I read of so many guys working hard to save rough cars while such improvement is within my reach. On other '40 projects I've had to replace doors and other body components, while finding it to be quite easy, or I just got lucky. Imagine the access to a bare chassis with the frame blasted and painted and the mechanicals cleanly installed. One might think I had already decided. Just looking for horror stories that might give pause. Thanks for your thoughts: Fred A
