Building a Hotrod frame from scratch

- Over the course of a few days, we bit the bullet and built a brand new frame for project “TeeBurn”. We chip away at some 2x4 3/16 thick steel to form a familiar shape to hot rodding. This brings us one step closer to piecing together a really cool roadster pickup!

Finally an American that kept the guard on his grinder!! Thank you sir. Your digits will love you for it
I like you CAD cutout paper work!!
Very cool!
Great work man! That was brilliant using the old frame as a frame jig!
The pie cuts turned out nice.
very nice ! this video has been the best i have seen on a frame build ever!!! I have looked , trust me... even the big money channels cant top this!
I enjoyed this! Thanks for the video. Great job on the frame!
Thank you sir!
Seriously badass! Really enjoyed seeing how and where you made the cuts to pull off the desired stance. I have to get into this older stuff. Looks like a blast.
Thanks buddy!
I'm following your lead on my upcoming build
Glad to see you back. Nice job! I should have done the same for the frame of my ‘30 closed cab pickup.
Thank you sir!
You did a great job on your frame.
Thank you!
Great work enjoyed this video thanks!
Very impressed! And great video shooting! I have a rusted up '30 Sedan body that has been on the back burner for 16 years, and it's original wonky frame. In a previous life, it was a roll over, and the rear crossmember snapped in half. This gives me some hope that I might be able to build myself a new frame one day. Thanks for the inspiration! Great job!
Thank you very much! I appreciate you watching and wish you the best of luck with your project!
I’m digging your style bro. Keep it up.
Much appreciated, thank you
I hope you are going to bevel all the pie cuts . Need full penatration. A + work so far. When you flush grind your welds you won't have any weld left ! ! !
I've used hundreds of cut off wheels over the years on my electrig grinders. I've found that Diablo .045 are the best I've ever used. Comments please...😃
I’ll have to look into those blades after I blast through my pack of abrasive wheels!
I liked them until I tried the sata.045, which I switched to kimball Midwest kimkuts because they’re leagues better
Lots better than a model a frame. Would prefer a 32 frame but this is nice work
I BET IT FELT GOOD TO GET THAT SIDE BETTENDORF UP OR IN GOOD OLD ENGLISH BUTTEND UP
where did you source the frame horns and X members? you did a real nice job ,that steel tubing is the nuts to work with,keep up the good stuff.
Thank you very much! The frame horns were from Roadster Supply, and the front crossmember was sourced from Millworks Hot rod and Supply Inc.
Is the 4" drop measured at the top of both rails or from the top of the lower rail to the bottom of the upper rail?
4” between the tops of both rails.
Are you going to put fish plate on your kick up and your pie cuts
could someone point me in the direction of where i can get frame metal like this
Did you flare out the frame at the cowl like how the original frames did? Or did you simply angle out the pieces as a whole so the width would match at the front cross member and at the rear cross member. Awesome project so far!
Good question! I used the front half angle of the stock Model A frame to set my angle and kept the rails straight. I considered putting in the “kick” in the center to mock the Model A shape, but considering my suspension setup, it wasn’t necessary. Thank you for watching!
How did you come to decide that the rear kick up needed to be 4"? I'm about to start exactly this project with my '30 coupe. And I've decided that doing it from scratch is going to be the right way to go.
A great reference for frame dimensions is the Boling Brothers Early Iron website. They build excellent frames in different orientations and show examples of cars built to those specs. I decided on my dimensions based on that info, the relaxed position of the axles and springs I decided on, and the short stature of the body shape. In short, I scribbled enough sketches on graph paper to just make a decision and rolled with it lol. Good luck on your project, and thanks for watching!
Its where the rear bumper braces would have put it.
A little more explanation would be helpful. Reminds me of those Chinese gadgets videos.
