dbmarkc Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I am the proud new owner of a 44 series roadster. The frame is in pretty poor condition. Does anyone know where a frame could be obtained? I live in Southern California. I do know where to find a couple of 60 series frames. Would my body fit on that frame without a tremendous amount of modification?Thanks for any info.Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 40series Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Hi Mark,Welcome to the board. The 40 series and 60 series frames are very different and would require a lot of work to fit under your body. I believe the frame for your 30 is the same as 31 and 32. I see project cars that are price fair enought o buy for the frame pretty often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbmarkc Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 Thanks for the input. Any suggestions where I could find one?Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
42crazy Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I have the front part of a saw mill car, cut off in front of the rear wheels. I can check the frame tomorrow, to see how good or bad it is. Paul, in St. Louis, Mo. PS, forgot to say that it is a model 46, probably the same as the model 44, which I also have, so, I could check it closely.

42crazy Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Music Mark, I checked the frame on my SawMill car today, and, it's no good at all. Rusted completely thru many, many places. I am restoring a '30-44 right now, if there is anything I can help you with, just let me know. I have the rear brakes to do, both door panels, upholstery at the top storage compartment behind the seat, put the front fenders and hood on, and a few other minor things to do yet. It was a frame off job. I had to do very little woodwork on it, it was actually in very good shape. If you give me your email address, I will send you a few pictures of it, I don't know how to put them on the Forum. Thanks, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
