This
is Ed's famous 1932 X-frame. This frame utilizes a 1942-48 center
section. This ensures a torsionally rigid frame without boxing
Here
the A-V8 frame is assembled with it's drivetrain. The A-V8 frame
features original Model-A front and rear crossmembers
The
center section of the X-member is reversed to allow a location point for
the rear wishbones which have been joined together with a Model-A front
yoke.

engine mounts support the flathead V8
The
original '48 transmission mount now supports the rear ladder bars.
This
frame was modified to enable the fitment of an S10 5-speed transmission.
1934
Ford with 350 SBC
This
rolling 34 was a rusty twisted abused original frame from Argentina. We
fitted it with the first Unisteer steering in Germany
Boxed
and repaired by Eds Rod Shop, this frame is now straight again. Now
fitted with a 350SBC and TH350
Although
fitted with coil over shocks at the rear we were able to retain the
original rear crossmember with cutout pockets for the coilovers..
The
frame was modified to fit the newer components without losing it's
original character
