Great job Chuck! I know what you are going through. Slow progress IS better than no progress.

Nobody makes boxing plates for a 28 Chrysler so they were all cut to fit. I'm also looking into re-drilling the axles to 4.5". Much cheaper way to go. I may eventually upgrade the axles but not now. I bought some adapters but they turned out to be metric studs and nuts so I'm returning them. Would have been a temporary fix anyway. Chuck

I wonder if people pay too much attention to boxing frames I have a mate, who has been running a blown C*&v6 in his 34 since the seventies , I was shocked as I found it recently the frame is not boxed and most of the parts are just bolt on.. Seen it run a flat 11 seconds [lifts the front left wheel clean off the ground]  its run backwards and forwards across the full length of this country for heaps of nationals.. still going strong today, great testament for early Ford frames ...

Talkwrench, for every story like yours there is one about the frame breaking. That Hemi is no V-6. The weight and torque alone would justify boxing the frame. IMHO.

The Chrysler frame is a bulky 6" tall and 2" wide and possibly strong enough to hold the Hemi but I didn't want to chance it. I may be getting old but I'll still hammer the s&^t out of is on occasion. Also its part of the plan to have a decent street rod once in my life. Had way too many "in progress". Speaking of which the frame is done and in for primer and paint today!

Finally the 28 chassis is painted and should be back on four wheels in a couple of days. Cant wait to get it home and do the plumbing and wiring.

I also added my hang tag along with the Rolling Bones topper to the Vicky.
