Rusty subrail repair. 1928 Model A Special Coupe Traditional hot rod build.

In this video, I'm repairing the rusty subrail on the 1928 Model A Special Coupe. In the next video on this car, I will completely weld up the subrail, grind the welds, and start a new project on the car! #traditionalhotrod #modela #rust #coupe #hemipowered #32chassis #hotrod #stromberg #hotrod #specialcoupe #highboy #dropped axle #chopped

Something I never considered, my sub rails are rotten at the front, I was just going to buy new ones, maybe I should be looking for pieces to repair mine. Thanks!

[@phillipshotrodgarage]

My original plan was to replace the subrails, but I just happened to find this piece.

It’s lookin good man. I’ve only found one other good channel that mainly works on old Ford hot rods. It’s great to have you added to my list. Keep up the great work!

[@phillipshotrodgarage]

Thanks for watching! I’ve got more old Ford hot rod stuff in the works!

How do you fill the gap between Model A body and Model B frame since the A is flat and the B is curved.

[@phillipshotrodgarage]

The ‘32 frame is actually completely flat from the front of the rear wheelwell to the front of the door. The frame curves, or kicks up somewhere around the cowl post area. I will modify the cowl sides to allow the body to sit down flat on the frame. There won’t be any spacers. I’ll cover this in a upcoming video so it all makes sense. The cowl sides will have to be cut at an angle to match the shape of the frame. Thanks for the comments and for watching!
