Hi Everyone!! [dr
I have a '32 Chev 2dr Coach that I found out of a farmers field. There is no floor, detached from the frame and the interior wood structure is 90% gone.
I have it sitting in my garage right now and I want to get the rolling chassis done before I put the body on but in the mean time... how do you square the body up? What do I need to do before I place it on the body? Where whould I be placing all of my square tubing for the supports?
It has a bit of rot at the bottom but I've decided to chop it 4" before channel and that would elimate all rot. How do you make your cut even all the way around? Do I have to have it suspended?
Take a look & tell me what you think.
I also found a blue print of the orginal wood structure... would that be a good guide to follow for the steel tubing?
