28-29 roadster subrails
« on: March 04, 2013 4:04 am »
Anybody got any bits or pieces of roadster subrails laying around? My roadster was channeled and has some pretty butchered rails. I know i can get these new, but I 'm wondering if anybody has any thing....also could use cross rails too..Thanks Weed

Me either,as far as just auto ADD. But yes Tim, I moved it inside as it was bothering me to be out in the elements for the last two years. My flatty has since become tight and it looks to me that the supposed Zephyr tranny guts was a myth as expected. I have thought of doing a post on how not to build a hot rod cause what a half assed compilation of snotty welds and jerry rigging. Its amusing to think these guys tore up the gravel roads with this pile. But anyway, I'm just trying to sort the body out for now and either slide it  back into a corner or throw it on my 27 T frame for the summer. I do have the new replacement quarters and a real nice gas tank that Arch donated so if I could come up with some better subs it would be pretty much there. By the way it will be unchanneled, at least not 11 inches anyway....later
