Here’s Part 2 of the chassis work on Leo’s 1936 Ford, and in this one the custom rear frame rails are coming together along with the rear suspension, including a custom 4-link, bag and shock brackets, and more. Bellos uses their small CNC plasma table to the fullest, and Mike is designing the rear frame rails so that they can be cut and formed with the press brake to make cool tubular rails that narrow the rear for more tire and will allow the entire thing to sit flat on the ground. There is some great fabrication going on here, so check it out in the latest video below. And if you missed the first video, make sure you use the link to see the one you might have missed.
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 got 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.
