Dear Welder Series…
Do you have any trailer hitch parts to build a trailer hitch for a 1934 Pontiac?
Thanks
Burl
Dear Burl…
There aren’t any specific trailer hitch parts in the Welder Series catalog, Burl, but I’m sure a few of the tabs and gussets could be used.
Thanks for looking at our site.
Dear Welder Series…
I am building a 37 two door sedan. I have put in one of your Mustang II front suspension kits, which worked fine. Now I am installing the motor, which is a 1999 LS1 5.7L. My question is how important is the three degree tilt back on the engine. Three degree will work but 5 degree would put the tailstock below the the top of the frame and would mean less floor modifications. I did just purchase one of your center section kits but it is not going to work the way you [supplied] it, because the drive shaft is too close to the top of the frame. I will be using all the pieces, just laying it out differently. Any feed back would be appreciated.
Thanks
Ray
Dear Ray…
Ray, 3 or 5 degrees will be fine. We normally set engines up at 4 degrees and that extra bit won’t hurt anything. For some other driveline tips, see http://www.welderseries.com/blog/tech-sharing/motor-mounting-tips/ .
Please send pictures of what you do with our center section… it’s always nice to see our parts ‘in action’.
Thanks for using Welder Series parts.
Dear Welder Series…
I am building an old school Jeep CJ5. I can’t find any aftermarket frames or frame parts anywhere. What are the chances you are going to start making some? How about a 1955 CJ5 frame kit? The CJ5 frame is the same from 1955 to 1971. Thank you for your time. I have found so much street rod stuff that is going to be Jeep stuff. You guys rock! Maybe look into the off-road market… I am going to use your motor mounts, body mounts, brackets, tabs, unholes… I have found so many uses for your parts.
Dear Kerry…
Thanks, Kerry. I’m happy you found Welder Series parts that you can use on your Jeep. Our parts are quite adaptable!
We don’t have any plans to build Jeep frames or parts that would be specifically for Jeeps. Sorry.
Thanks for looking at welderseries.com.
Dear Welder Series…
Mr Horton:
I have two major regrets. One is selling my 5 window deuce when I came home from Nam. The second is that I didn’t find your web site sooner. I would like to use your “Welder Series” Mustang II cross-member and coil mounts but I’m wondering which manufacturer’s tube arms and dropped spindles would be compatible with my 36 Ford front end. Actually I would like to use a number of your items but I know (and realize why.) you use a deuce as a sort of nucleus of much of your inventory but does your catalog specify if the item is only for use with a deuce? I wanted to down load your catalog but I wasn’t sure if I had to be a member first.
Thanks, Kep
Dear Kep…
Kep, I’m happy that you found us now instead of three years from now…For Mustang II arms, check with some of the companies on our “Dealers/Builders” page, http://www.welderseries.com/blog/dealers-builders/ .
Send us your mailing address and we will get a catalog on the way to you. The parts themselves don’t know what they are… Welder Series came to be because when we were building hot rods, we would often want to use a component from some kit in an application I hadn’t thought of when designing it. Sort of “imagineering”.
Thanks for looking at Welder Series parts.
Dear Welder Series…
Hi Guys,
I’m looking for frame boxing plates for a 65 Ranchero before installing an MII cross member. Also, would you happen to have patch panels for the fender wells after cutting out those obnoxious shock towers?
Thx,
Gary
Dear Gary…
We have 3/16″ plate at http://www.welderseries.com/blog/online-store/plate-23-x-7-12-x-316/ . These are rectangular plates that you would cut to fit your frame.
Sorry, we don’t have any patch panels.
Thanks for asking about Welder Series parts.

Dear Welder Series…
Hello – I just found your website and see tons of products I can use! The parts listed below were shown as part of a Mustang II kit but I wanted to see if I could purchase them separately. If so, what is the pricing?
Upper arm plate, flat, 21901, Qty. 2: $28/ea
Coil-over plate, 21902, Qty. 4: $10.50/ea
Thank you,
Mickey

Dear Welder Series…
Do you have a frame C notch kit for the rear suspension of a 38 Chevy?
Dear Fred…
Thanks for asking, Fred. If you want to put a simple c-notch in the bottom of the frame rail for rear end clearance, we have #12203.
We also have the frame curve sections, as shown here .
I hope one of these will solve your problem.

Dear Welder Series…
Hi,
In your #2072 Installation Tips on Model A and 32 Fords you reference a measurement from the radiator mounting hole for the Vega Steering Box Bracket, do you have a measurement for 33/34 Fords or an article I can reference? Ron
Dear Ron…
There are 3 holes in the frame for the front fender brace. the (upper) rear hole center is axle centerline. We put the top hole of the Vega steering bracket 10-1/2″ back from that hole and 1-5/8″ down from the top of the frame rail.
However, it is always a good idea to mock up the front suspension parts with the frame at ride height to be sure the drag link is parallel to the tie rod and at the same height and that the drag link tie rod end doesn’t touch the tie rod.
Thanks for asking.
Paul Horton
Dear Welder Series…
What kind of steel are your tabs and gussets made from? Mild Steel?
Thanks,
Rasmus
Dear Rasmus…
Yes, Rasmus, all of the parts are mild steel, pickled and oiled, except where noted in our catalog or on the webstore. Examples of stainless parts are some of our exhaust hangers and the brake pedal pad mounts.
Thanks for looking at Welder Series parts.

Dear Welder Series…
Specifically I’m looking to get into a tig setup for the first time. Would a Miller Maxstar 150 be powerful enough to do the nice (and quick, I might add!) tig welding I see being done on your videos?
Thanks, Scott
Dear Scott…
Thanks for asking me about this welder, Peter. I’m not familiar with it, but it seems light. Here is a forum thread that I’ve been following that might be helpful: http://canadianrodder.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3206
I know Mike (Oldman) and respect his knowledge. (He’s a heck of a good guy, too.)
I hope this helps.
Paul Horton.
