Chassis Mods Part 1: Bagging a 1936 Ford, Rebuilding Frame Rails, Custom Crossmembers, Notch, And A One Off LS Swap.


Chassis Mods Part 1: Bagging a 1936 Ford, Rebuilding Frame Rails, Custom Crossmembers, Notch, And A One Off LS Swap.

The Bellos Kustoms crew are jamming on another project and this time it’s a little different. They’re taking what looks like a pretty clean 1936 Ford Chassis and building an LS swapped, air ride equipped, low down hot rod out of it. That means prepping the chassis, measuring, cutting, and more and that’s before any of the actual fabrication gets started. There are some surprises on this one when it comes to rust so some repairs are needed before the real fun can begin. But that real fun is going to include a lot.

It’s getting a step notch out back so it can lay on the ground when parked, and that also means custom rear suspension. In order to fit everything underneath, a custom x member will have to be built as well since the factory one is junk and will just get in the way.

And that doesn’t even account for the LS swap that will make WAY more power than this thing was ever expected to live with and so all of that has to be taken into account. It’s going to look traditional on the outside and be modern and powerful underneath, so watch as they go through Part 1 of the chassis build, with more to come.
