I am enjoying the build series. I currently own a 1935 & 1936 Ford pick-ups ( street rods) as well as a 1940 Plymouth P10 4 DR deluxe, all stock.

I like the 35 and 36 pickups too. Thanks for watching!

I've been enjoying your videos for a while and like your down-to-earth casual presentation. Thanks, keep up the great work.

Hello Derek. Your timing is spot on as I am sitting in line at the shippers waiting to unload. Nice and simple frame repair. With the boxing plates it looks much stronger. It will be nice to see the engine and box in there. I’ve got parts from swap meets and when you go to put them together there’s always something missing or miss matched. Take care both all the best.

[@coldstreamrodshop]

I would prefer to have boxed the whole frame if it were my project but as the owner said he's not putting a lot of horsepower in it. Even with new kits and parts you still have to fiddle with something, that's hot rodding! Thanks for always watching!

[@timferriss905]

Yes me to. I think a good strong frame is key to a long lasting car. But I no lots of people only box where the engine fits.

[@petar443]

I would cut a half turn or even a whole turn from the springs.

[@coldstreamrodshop]

We may have to do that but we're going to wait and see which engine he puts in this car first.

The things we do no not think of that are needed when doing a frame off restoration. I for one have never changed front end components without the driveline installed. Take for granted having all that weight to keep it planted. Do you expect the front springs will be more linear and straight when the truck is fully assembled ? Does it even really matter ?

[@coldstreamrodshop]

I hope the springs will settle in when all the weight is on it. The instructions for the kit even say this that it will take a few weeks driving for this to happen. I do check the geometry without the springs at estimated ride height to be sure we can get the castor and camber right. A full alignment can't be done until the car is fully assembled. You do have to rely on the manufacturer that they got it right.

@@coldstreamrodshop- All good gear, just some differences, like the tie rods.

How did you get the shocks into the springs

[@coldstreamrodshop]

They slid up into holes in the lower control arms.
