I'm gonna let out a little secret here: I'm a hot rodder. But, that said, I sure hope you don't hot rod this frame Uncle Bob. It's rarity deserves a restoration. Hold onto it until a restorer steps up to pay the price you need. There are plenty of other frame rails in the sea to use for your hot rod project.

I love collecting early '32 parts, and will use some on my projects. But your frame is too rare to cut up for a rod. I have a V8 frame in the 5,000's, but it shows none of the rare characteristics and therefore I don't feel too bad about putting a couple extra holes in it.
