1928 - 1931 Model A Ford 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.
These are cut from either 1/8" or heavier 3/16" steel to give even more added strength
when welding motor mounts, crossmembers and etc to the inside of the chassis. The 3/16"
plates also allows more threads, when drilling and tapping holes for clamping brake & fuel
lines, wiring, etc.
This is a 6 piece set. 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
To state the obvious..some assembly, fitting and welding is required.
