1928 chevy coupe frame
Here the built up pictures of my first early hot rod frame.Its for a friend of mine (customer). Its based off a 32 chevy frame. I did a 6" kick-up (or Z) up frame and followed the same frame sweep out back and added a notch to the rails. Ford tube axle and leaf spring with model a crossmember and hairpins up front, 36 ford radius rods (shortened) out back with coilovers and panhard bar out back, all tabs and mounts i made.
Heres the pictures..... The start to the rear sweep...   Rear jig'd up...   Front Jig'd up...   Frame transition...

on steel(I'm a rookie) what size cuts, how far apart. What did you use. Not much of a fabricator(maybe some day) just curious.

Re: 1928 chevy coupe frame
Wow, that looks great!
Is your friend putting a 28 Chevy Coupe on the frame? Rat rod, hot rod, custom restoration? You know we'll need pics when he puts the body on, right?
