    I want to start building the frame for my 29 sedan and I'm looking for a set of plans for making my own z frame.
    Anyone willing to share?

    I used the Wescotts blueprint from their website for the basic stuff. I expect that there has to be several dozen threads on here about "Z" ing model a frames on here.....I use the hillbilly CAD system for making plans ( Cardboard Aided Design)...make lots of mockups and see what looks right.

    Thats funny right there.....I second the hillbilly CAD system....

    In fact I found that old discarded liquor boxes work the best......and if they dont......get a few more....and by then.....everything lines up perfectly, and fits like a glove.

    I think this is one of the smartest homebuilt A frames from 2x4 tubing I've seen. And it looks like it would work wether you plan to channel it or not.

  17. Work the registration problem first. I don't know the answer but maybe boxing a '29 with its original serial number would let you register the car as a '29 but a new frame would create problems.
