Leadfred  Welcome to the site, hope you get what you want, but don't give up you can find a ole Chevy out there.   

[TFoch]

Yeah don't give up.  I was looking for a coupe for a few years and finally came across my Cabriolet by chance.  The right one will come along when you least expect it.

There are lots of pickups that can make great looking old school rods. Some not so much.

[LeadFreddie]

Off to check out another on the weekend, then a 37 chev truck on Monday. ..not giving up quite yet.

Yesterday's trip was worth the effort. I May be coming home  with  33 to 35 5 window tin, plus a 2 door sedan.

The issue I have is there is a pile of frames and I can't identify which are right. Does anyone hand a picture of a bare frame the can share?

The ones I thought may be right seemed too long and looked more like a 34 ford frame. Some of these frames have been modified , rodded with the cross members removed, boxed rails  so on.  All are very use able but I don't want to drag home the wrong frames. 
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There is no wrong frame  take the one that is boxed and if it has independent fropnt end all the better  make it fit  lol lol  vette59jdwl

Check out this post by Moose.  It has pictures of the frames that would be helpful to you.

Thanks for the link from moose, what a great source.
I'm going to drink home frames and a metal break from the same location.
I  think I can dig up the fenders for the sedan too.

The owner is an old school hotrodder and his 10 acres are filled with cars disassembled,  baby hemis, hemis 409s, piles offenders from the 20s though 40s. As life does,health issues have put him away and now a close friend is helping to clear his land.  The dear lady who it taking care of things has been invaded by vultures.

She has posted a complete 33 3 widow for $5k and a 34 sedan delivery for $9k. Both complete and straight. I wanted the coupe but when I  arrived, she had sold both to a sweet talker for $6500.

I found 4, 32 ford grills, 2 34 ford grills, all with shells and put them in a pile. I asked for a price and she said, $1000.00 because they were so nice. I asked if she knew of eBay . She has an account so then I told her the real value of the grills and shells.   Those shells, so original and straight as an arrow are worth closer to $8000.

I don't take advantage. I may not get ahead but I  sleep very well at night.

Looking forward to posting pictures soon.

I'm with you! I have paid more than the asking price several times when the seller didn't have a clue. I have more often turned and walked away when the price was ridiculous. I hate dickering.

I hope you can find what you want there. I would shy away from a frame someone else has worked on especially if it had IFS.

[62131]

I agree with Sixball on staying away from a chassis that someone else has workd on, I'm speaking from experience, It cost me a lot of time to take it out and start over.

[LeadFreddie]

Agreed, leaving the frame with a mustang fs behind
I ll build with hairpins and cross steering.
If I  want lush rides I've  got my 66 Caliente convert for those days.

If your looking at 5 windows you have to know that the frames for 1933 Chevrolet MASTER series is 110 " wheelbase with I beam axle and leafs springs in front.

The other 5 window would be a 1934 Chevrolet master with 112" wheelbase and uses a dubonet knee action front suspension. These frames are not interchangeable.

The 1934 Chevrolet STANDARD series is 107" wheel base has a K member
The 1935 Chevrolet STANDARD series is 107" wheel base and has a stronger X member design.  Coupes for the standard series only came in 3 window

Gawd I hope to be able to get off this into page and into the real world soon.
I passed on the coupe and sedan because even though they were affordable to start, there's too much bad Karma involved.

I'm talking to the owner of the attached one now. Was a running driving car. Owner never got to restore it but ran it to move it around his storage locker ( aka airplane hanger in Arizona).  All trim is there, all wood intact- but original.  Is $7K a good, fair or over the top price?

[vette59jdwl]

For what i see there ITS a steel at 7 G's  vette59jdwl  that's a real GEM

The $7,000 is going to go somewhere in the build, better to do it up front with a solid complete car than a few hundred at a time chasing missing parts from all over the place. It's only money you can't buy time.
