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...

Oh just before, during & after pictures... seen that done on wood but never
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.

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? :D
