John Keech is updating his Model A Coupe with a new chassis. This time around he is building his Coupe on a 32 Ford frame. There are several features that John wanted in the new frame. First, he is really raising the bar with a 392 Hemi destined to be topped off with a 671 and dual quads, instead of the small block that was in the original frame. The new frame rails were built with a 3" stretch in front of the firewall. They were also built with a flat top lip to accommodate the flat floor of the Model A. We also moved the front cross member forward to give a little more room for the blower drive. The rails were C notched front and rear. Our 10 pt tubular X member with removable trans mount was installed between the special rails. We look forward to adding more pictures as John builds the Coupe. Check out the latest 32 frame to leave the shop.

John had many front-end parts that were polished aluminum or chrome. We like to leave the foam wrappings on those parts to keep them that way during assembly
