Thread: pinching front frame 32 3 window coupe

Tweet

will be cutting front frame horns off and pinching frame so front frame runs parallel to hood sides. I don't like the look of anything being in front of the grille shell at front of car. has boxed frame, regular dropped front axle, leaf spring with hairpins. Want to use all of the existing front suspension and steering components. Can I use the existing front crossmember and just cut it off on each side and move frame into it or do I need to construct a new crossmember for this to work? Anyone have any experience and helpful hints???? With small block chevy figure I won't have room for mechanical fuel pump anymore, shorten steering rod to right front wheel and vega steering box mounts changed a little but is there anything else that needs changed other than pie cutting frame at firewall to bend it in and shortening the front crossmember.
