Default Re: 1932 Roadster Frame Rail Sag

You will need something like my toy in pic .
A couple laser levels and some plumbobs .
Plumbobs can be nothing more than nuts hanging on threads .
The important part is marking the thread EXACTLY the same distance from the bottom of the frame rails .

It can of course also be done with a tape measure .

Had that rack for well over 20 years now and you learn quick that fixing things that someone else attempted to fix is by far the biggest nightmare .
Many just start bending things and only make it worse .

These old frames bend real easy so be careful .

DO NOT start bending things until you have removed the shims meant to correct this issue .

From what I see here your frame is bent in more than one place .

If you were close to MPLS MN your issue would be easy to fix .
That is assuming the frame is not weakened by rust .
Good luck !!
