A fully optioned 1932 A-V8 rolling chassis featuring Model-A front and rear crossmembers, X-frame strengthening legs and ambulance motor mounts.




This Model-A chassis has been fitted with a 1932 Ford K-member to mount the flathead V8 engine and V8 transmission. The chassis has been "Zedded" at the rear and the rear crossmember moved rearward to mount the Model-A rear spring behind the axle.





Options
	This popular option of a Model-A rear crossmember (left and right) allows the use of a quick change rear end and also lowers the rear of the car quite substantially if combined with a spring behind axle configeration. Priced at €350 extra.

	Genuine original 1928-31 Ford Model-A front crossmember. This requires modification to fit the 1932 frame. Priced at €350 extra including fitting

	Ed's Rod Shop's unique Ambulance V8 motor mounts are an expensive but very attractive way of mounting your late model Flathead V8 in an early frame. Priced at €500 extra. These mounts require the use of an original Model-A front crossmember (see above)

	1942-48 Mercury Motor Mounts. These very rare and hard to find engine mounts are great to use if I can find them. Priced at €350 / pair fitted.

	Front and rear shock mounts. The solutions are varied. Where possible I use authentic Ford parts. Prices are around €350-€400 per axle depending on parts used.

	Bolt in X-frame legs to reinforce the 1932 Ford frame. €950-€1000 depending on body style.

1932 Ford X-frame from €7500

Pictured here before riveting is Ed's Rod Shop's deluxe 1932 Ford X-frame chassis.

The center box section has been reversed, flipped top to bottom and shortened. This frame accepts stock 1940-48 Ford pedals

Notice the way the X-frame flows into the outside rails just how Ford designed it, increasing torsional rigidity.

1934 Ford frame restoration Ed's Rod Shop can restore your old and damaged 1928-34 Ford frame. This 1934 pictured below had very serious rust damage and broken front and rear crossmembers. The front crossmember was replaced with a Model-AA truck front crossmember. The rear crossmember was replaced by another 1934 crossmember. Serious rust damage on the X-member was repaired and both side rails which were seriously weakened by rust were replaced by new ones from ASC. All original holes in the side rails were drilled out and the frame was riveted back together.






And the final result after riveting back together.
