53 Frame

[johnod]

I decided to do something about my frame, and this is it.
It makes a huge difference.
We did have to cut out the footwells.
I also at this time installed the T56 trans, and a Ford 9" posi style rearend, 4;11 gears and disc brakes, along with a lokar emergency/park brake

And what did you do to your front end?

The body never came off, this is more of a retrofit to a car thats on the road.
The front end was done some time ago, it's a custom clip, with MII susp, R&P ,and sway bar, presently power steering but will be changed to a manual rack soon.
The rear end has a sway bar from Tbow, I installed about a year ago on an 8" rearend.
When i put the 9" inch in I lowered the car an inch with blocks, this plus bigger axle tubes, different spring perches etc, required the sway bar links be extended an inch approx.
I think I will raise the car back up in the rear a bit, it has no rake now, and sits too flat in my opinion.

Looks really nice. I could see this as having some market potential!

I suppose it could be done, a kit, but there are some variables, and you'd still have a good bit of welding to do i think.
