    Newby question on frames

     



    I'm new to this forum and have finally decided to take that plunge I've always wanted to and am looking for a car. I found a 37 sedan that looks pretty much like what I want but it's advertised with a GM subframe. I've been in the market for about 6 months now and haven't run across this yet and was wondering what the thoughts were on it. What would a desireable setup be if this isn't it?
    Thanks in advance

    Lightbulb 2 cents........?

     



    first.... welcome 2 CHR

    And on your question do a search on this site for "subframe"
    you'll get alot of info.
    My opinion.......the only thing about getting one that's already switched, Is who did the work, what did they use? is it done "right" or "is it going to go down the road with a dog leg to one side or the other?" if your new to the whole thing do your home work on what you want first and then no one can "rip you off" getting rid of they're mistake and you'll have an idea if its done right.

    "maybe someone here can give you all the details of each set-up?"

    but if you do that search and read a little maybe "you'll have it narrowed down?" where someone can really help you?

    "Glade you joined!"hope this helps .........
    "Whad'ya want for nuth'N, ..............aaa,rrrrrubber biscuit... ?"

    "bad spellers of the word untie ! "

    If your wondering how I'm doing I'm > " I'm still pick'N up the shinny stuff and passing open windows "

    I think that the most common sub-fframe swaps have too wide of a track for your car. Does the tires stick out past the fender?
