Introducing Bob Drake’s NEW SCHOOL No Weld/Easy Bolt-On ™ method for building the
Cars & Pickups 1935-40 FORD CHASSIS
Welcome to my back yard build.
Remembering way back, when no aftermarket hot rod suspension parts were known, stock parts were home- modified to gain just the smallest of handling and safety upgrades; or were they really upgrades? Along with real innovations, good theories were also followed up by bad techniques in metal forming. Memorable problems surfaced while driving our home-builts, as many chassis parts had been torched and bent to theoretically improve their functions. Not all of them were safe. Not good. TodaytheDrakeTeamisbuildinghotrodsusingthebestbolt- on suspension parts engineered with old school quality, tailor-made to fit early Ford cars and pickups.We’re forging aheadwith newcar building systems by offering a range of new parts that make for a safe, unmatched ride. Best of all, these bolt-on parts are a snap to install.
We know that not everyone is experienced in MIG or TIG welding, as welding is rarely done these days in home garages. But, if you don’t own a drill and wrenches, you may want to skip this guide. There’s a new approach to joining the structural parts of the early Ford frame and chassis: We call it our No Weld—Easy Bolt-On ™ method. We’ve applied this method to our 1935-40 frame, the foundation of our Project ’40. In the following pages, you’ll see our road-tested bolt-on parts. So, just visualize how you can build a great hot rod the easy, no-weld, Drake way.
