Looks like it will be a nice project. Did you get a frame? are you rodding what you have?

does any one know about what other frame would fit under my 34 or if anybody had one that they would part with let me know that would be great

In the past I have seen people use a chevy S10 frame. I am thinking that any of the hot rod frame kits for the 32 Deuce would work for this. You would get yourself a prebuilt frame with suspension for good price save you screwing around adapting something else.

where would you look to find something like that out of a catologe or a website

You got some choices here and I mean loads of them.

Look at Fatman www.fatmanfab.com they have complete rolling chassis starting at $6900 measure your body and measure the body to frame anchor points and give them those measurements for your quote.

Or These guys have complete frame kits www.totalcostinvolved.com

Or Roadster Shop www.roadstershop.com

Back in the day my Dad and I welded up frames did the whole rod thing and tooks 100's of hours doing it. We did not have rolling chassis available to us. And let me tell you for the price we would have been getting something like these.

Guys like Fatman will take your measurements and weld frame attachment points on their frame so all you have to do in prep the body line it up and drop it on the frame and you can specify what type of motor and tranny mounts so you are so much farther down the road.

Hope this helps
