Thread: One way to build a '32 sedan

Tweet

Some good info, Ken! Thanks for posting it!!! I probably have as much money in my chassis table as I do in some of the frames I've built on it...but it's worth every penny I have in it. I've had a bunch of different fictures and jigs, had one for deuces, sold it to a guy in Montana a few years back... It was specific for 32's and had many of the same features you've incorporated in yours. No matter what it is you're building, IMO nothing is more critical then to have a good firm table to build the frame on....If the frame and suspension isn't right it just doesn't really matter how the rest of the car is done!!!! There's a whole lot more involved in a build then big horsepower and shiny paint. Your very well documented build threads are proof!!!!! Thanks for taking the time to share all your first rate build information with us!

Dave, thank you.
I also believe that if the foundation isn't sound the house falls down. It's worth all the work, but I also want to say any one can duplicate a nice fixture at home. It doesn't have to look like mine to be a good foundation, it just has to be level and strong.
