How It's Done: New Body, Old Frame

We like this. We used to hate the idea of putting a new body on an old frame and calling it a "hot rod." It didn't seem right. That was when buying a new body meant buying something that came out of a mold and was made of a substance not known to man when the original '32 Fords were rolling off the assembly line. It also meant it was highly likely that a modern frame with air bag suspension and a 350/350 combo would be powering the "Deuce" at 5 mph around fair grounds and up the ramps to the trailer that got it there.
