Frame welders/fabricators Tx area?
 
Anyone know of a shop, etc. to work on narrowing my frame? I see you guys cut, chop, weld, modify them all day long and half the time in your sleep but I am, "he who has no skills". I hoping to find someone trustworthy that can narrow the rear for me here in the DFW Texas area. Also thinking to just start with a second frame altogether. By the way, this isn't for a truck frame.;) (sorry)

Mike Farmer of Insane designs in Ennis. I've been dealing with him for years without issue, PM me if you want his shop number.

What model of frame?
Why do you need to narrow it?

Cool. I was hoping you'd be one of the folks helping me out with this. Can he smooth a firewall too?

:lol: Guess you were reading/posting as I was reading/posting. It's for my 65 Chevelle. I'm wanting to stuff 20x10's in the rear and I've heard everything from "won't fit" to "tight fit" so I'm prepping for the worst.

I've read about more than one guy mounting up 9.5's (w/the right back-spacing) w/no issues. I imagine the 64-65's are very similar to the g-bodies vs. say 66-77's. My 79 Malibu has had 20x10's mounted w/a minor frame notch (20x10 w/6.00bs) & we didn't need to roll the outer lip. So, w/the right bs, they might fit if the outer lip was rolled under.

What size tire are you considering?

That I don't know. I'd pretty much have to go on what I saw on another car which was a 275. Also "heard" I might be able to squeeze 285 with crossing my fingers. Beyond that, I'd have to rely on what I could either pysically see or just comparing it to something on the internetz.

I remember one set-up was like 17x9.5's, 5.625"bs, CurrieTrac 4CL arms, stock width 65 12-bolt, & 285-40-17's (he rolled his outer lips just to be safe). Try searching pro-touring.com or lateral-g.net.

If you had some thin spacers (.125") & don't mid driving over to Dallas/Garland area, I have some car pattern 15x10 & 20x10's (each w/6.00"bs) sitting around you're welcome to give a shot & see 'what if'.

Yes he can smooth a firewall. Check out his website ,I think it's Insanedesigns.com, if I remember correct.

Thanks guys.

Hey I might take you up on that offer on the wheels soon. Nothing like actually "seeing" it.

Would'nt hurt to go check out ramrods in terrell, tx. Give billy a call. (214) 929-7416. Bought a billet steering wheel and checked out the projects he had in the shop today. Cool guy and does excellent work. Several were laid out on big wheels.
