Need 49-54 Chevy Car Frame
« on: February 21, 2008 1:54 pm »
Let me know if any one has a lead on one of these or call Tim. Thanks


If anyone knows of one, we need a good 49-54 Chevy Car frame to build for a customer. It must be a good and solid. I can use your help. Let me know.

I bought two 1950's last year. One two door and one four door. I haven't picked them up yet and probably won't be able to get them until it thaws. I would be willing to give up one of the frames if need be, I only need one anyway. I don't know the exact shape of the frames, they have been setting for awhile. If you don't need it right way I would be willing to help you out. I may be able to take a look at them and check the condition. Let me know, Flatheaded

There is a 54 2 door at Siegelmans sitting there. They were trying to keep it nice, but the bonehead yard hands grazed it with misc equipment, so the body is shot. The frame is good though. Let me know if you need me to call on it. The owner lets me get stuff out of there still. Besides, I'd like the motor but don't want the whole car.

The problem with this time of year is if they are froze in the dirt you can't get them out.

   That's what I'm afraid of with the two I have. Haven't even seen them yet but I'm sure their not moveable right now.

I am interested in any of these frames as long as the condition is good. I am told the sedan and coupe frames are slightly different...idunno...if any one does let me know. We need this one for a 2 door sedan. Any of you guys that have a frame send me an email with your contact info and approximate price you might want for it, or info that you can give me so I can contact someone who you know has one. You can reach me at tim@hotrodhardware.com. We are not in a huge hurry for it...sometime this spring would be great.

Antibling,  Thanks for the pic. Also, I noticed you have a pic of my sedan in your gallery...the one with the door open...let me know what you want to send me a decent size print of that....very cool.

Tim.
