| 1928 - 1931 Model A Ford "Dimpled" or "Belled" Easy Weld Boxing Plates |
When building a street rod, throwing a modern day V8 motor in older day cars and driving
the higher speeds that we drive today, boxing in the original flimsy frames is a must.
Our Easy Weld boxing plates are cut undersized so that they would basically slip inside the
original frame rails, to allow for a V gap for great weld penetration, without the worry of
grinding away too much weld and sacrificing strength when grinding the welds flush. There
are steps or outward notches incorporated into our boxing plates to prevent them from
slipping inside the frame and making fitting and adjusting difficult.
This is a 6 piece set cut from 1/8" steel (10 gauge). The two longer pieces run from the rear
of the frame, right up to the front crossmember. The main plates are made in 2 smaller
pieces for ease of shipping and to reduce shipping costs. The smaller 2 pieces for the
frame horns may not be needed, but can be used (whole thing or trimmed to needed length)
with certain independent suspension front crossmembers, and/or if you are wanting a
cleaner look up front and are not using the front splash pan.
These will fit 28, 29, 30 & 31 model a cars or trucks
Dimpled Sets Special Notes:
The front crossmember area has been left undrilled to provide you with more material to
weld your front crossmember to, if install the boxing plates before the front crossmember. (if
not, it can be trimmed off) . If you want other certain areas to be left solid, you can contact
us for a Custom Cut set with measurements were you would like the boxing plates to be left
undrilled for an additional charge.
To state the obvious..some assembly, fitting and welding is required.
