Ford chassis

[Jim Langan]

I have a Chevette kit LOOKING FOR A FORD CHASSIS. I live on west coast. Thanks

Several members have referred to front engine kit frames as having been assembled by a welder who had been paid by the pound. All that 4 x 6 tubing is strong but heavy.

 

Has anyone welded up a frame that is stressed for TDr loads?  Clearly the side rails on this tube frame Miata wouldn’t work, but the components and size are there.

 

On the other hand, does the square tube frame really weigh that much to be worth the effort of building your own?

Have no problem with tube frames. These are three projects that are not done in my garage rite now. Was just hoping that a stock Ford frame would be a quick build and just maybe I could do when at work in Los Angeles

Sounds like what I did, throwing out a Chevette frame and building a frame for a Ford driveline. See build thread called Building Alfred.
