His and Her 69's OP pro stock H Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 1,559 Oh	I am wondering what the best route would be for my 36 ply coupe project. Trying to start planning it's future build. I want an independent front end, (mustang 2 style) and I will have the car tubbed out for some big tires. What I want to know is am I going to save a good amount $$ using my old frame (it's in Good shape)and modifying it or would I be better off getting a all NEW frame built??? Who is a Good source to see about having a frame made?? I can't afford the big name shops like S&W or Morrison etc. There is a place I checked into by Cleveland I think and they said 8,000 complete rolling suspension built for my 36 and like I want. IS That a GOOD Price??? Any info or places to contact would be Appreciated. p.s. I don't care if it's round tube or square tube. I plan to street drive and race it when the car gets done. David

Gene Although it has been since 97, I didn't pay big $ for this Morrison frame and front suspension. I would have to look up the receipts to say for sure, but it wasn't that bad. Then I had it trucked in from Wash. You could probably pick one up in Louisville at the Street Rod Nats.
