Friday’s Frames

I have always enjoyed building my own frames for my Hot Rods. I used to prefer the original frames over the reproductions, especially the square tubing look of the non-rounded corners of the early reproductions. I found the component fit was much better than the reproductions. I worked with Mike Martens when he first started making Deuce chassis and selling them under the name of Martin Fabrication. He worked in conjunction with Brown Mold who produced one of the first glass Deuce roadster bodies. I was still able to find all the Deuce chassis I needed back in the 70’s-80’s. Then the Deuce Factory came out with the stamped rails and later ASC came out with both the Deuce and Model 40 stamped rails. David Gale built chassis under the name of  Just-A-Hobby and was successful in supply most of the well known builders like Boyd, Brizio and other. Other builders like JW came out with their version and the market changed considerably for anyone wanting a fresh non-pitted chassis with all new components. SO-CAL came out with a market leader with a price point that was hard to beat even if you built it yourself like I do. I still prefer the original frames but they are hard to locate in good condition and a decent price.

The last frame I put in my jig was pair of ASC 34 rails with aftermarket front and rear cross members. I built the center section out of DOM 1/1/2″ round tubing. I found the rails to be fairly accurate and they pulled into the jig with some persuasion. I would have preferred an original chassis but wouldn’t step up to the several thousand dollar price tag. I finished my chassis complete with suspension for around $1,500 dollars. I’ll admit they are a lot of work boxing, welding and fitting all the components but that’s what I like to do. My father used to say, “Son we can build that for a lot less.” I never forgot that lesson.

I look at the Hot Rods being built in the various shops and most are built on reproduction chassis. They are just more cost affective when you are talking $100+/hour labor rates. I still advertise for Model chassis and find some that are within my budget but have found most to be over priced and in poor shape. Like Brookville bodies the hot Rod world soon learned that they make the build go faster and less expensive that restoring a real one.

My friend Frank, told me that he only buys Ducks, not Decoys!!! Here are some Ducks and Decoys for your to enjoy. Have a great weekend.

Stay Tooned!
