Frames Ahoy

Kris's custom frame off to Georgia !

RS 1930 Ford , the start of something special

Just finishing up a custom chassis for Santo.
I'm calling the project the "RS"  as in Red Sedan , it's not a Rally Sport Camaro

Way down low, and tall rear tires !  Like 35" tall, wait till you see it up on wheels.
I like doing the custom stuff, but my old grey beard leans me towards traditional stuff.
This one is going to be pretty wild. But still will be a good driving machine

it will sitting lower then this on the frame. Say good bye to the stock inner wheel wells.

He's keeping busy as he waits on me, cut the guts out of the stock tank. Dirty job but someone had to do it ! 

Pretty nice old sedan body. No need for a bunch of sheet metal repairs on this one

Santo Sedan

Well he got the sedan in the shop.
Bought it in Kentucky and brought home to Michigan

Nice solid 1930-31
Will be going with a super low Victor chassis.

CC Victor update

Well it's kinda stalled out. But its looking good.
Hope he gets back on it soon.
Don't give up !

CC Victor chassis, super low, comes with 5" drop axle etc..
Email if you want one. rileyauto@comcast.net 

CC Victor frame update

CC sent in some shots of the frame going together.
Great choice on the tire and wheels ! The rears are 18"
Next up, rear suspension and getting the body on.

Frames Ahoy !

A special built Victor left here today.
Will have a 392 hemi and a 4 speed
That should move the 30 sedan smartly
