Sweeping The Rear Frame On The Traditional Model A Coupe 

Gotta do it Right!

I try my best Paul!

Thanks for the compliments man, more to come on the kick ups!

Thanks man still needs finishing but the weekend is only so long! Haha

Thanks man!

Thanks pappa bob! I love working lol don’t know where I got it from

I appreciate that!!

I’ll be happy to brother!

Yeah I think I might do something like that instead. Always nice to have another set of eyes

Yeah for sure mate, you do super nice work so not trying to step on your toes but as a boilermaker by trade, and knowing the engineering rules over here in Aus that wouldn't pass at all. Looking at it the plate you've plug welded in isn't really doing anything as far as holding the kick up on as you've only really got the one vertical weld on it. It needs to be tied in more with fish plates and boxing. I think i'd leave it in there, box over the top and then run a fishplate over it. The fishplate length should be double the chassis height at the very least, so at least 8" / 200mm long with a few plug holes on each side, and fully weld it around. Don't stitch it in get it welded properly. Alternatively to plugging it with small holes you can drill a big hole with a hole saw on each side and "plug" the fishplate by welding all around the inside of the hole. You also want the ends of the fishplate rounded or cut on a 45 degree angle to extend the weld length on the end of the plate.

@@Nick-Kingsley that’s exactly what I was thinking, box over the plate I made then fish between the kick up and the boxed section of the old frame. Thanks for the input. Some guys on Facebook were being real assholes about it. I’ll always take constructive criticism just be a nice guy about it. Thanks again man and thanks for watching!

BCS company up in Thompson

Works great!

I just called up Boling brothers and told them I just wanted the rear 5” kick up section from their model a frames.

@@RACGARAGE do you think a rumble seat could still be usable in the trunk after the 5” sweep?

@@swannyssalvage5360 hmmmmm, you might have to get crafty with the seat bottom, but anything’s possible

Smoother look for sure but not safer. I’d rather it be safer. Don’t want to take chances

Haha idk probably under a rock

Yes that is a boling brothers special!

Thanks man! It’s a 5” drop from stock

Very true, I should have done that. Next time I will

Also consider a Z cut.

I really do!

Great tip!

I left a link in the description for the company that did the kick ups, you have to call and special order them, they can do any bends you want.

Thanks so much!

Never! Modify everything!!

i dont, i had to sell it. youtube life is hard! haha

It’s just a flathead v8. Not enough power to need a boxed frame.
