Howe Fabricated Chevelle-Type Frames

Fabricated frames eliminate shortages and saves time and cost without making existing bolt-on parts obsolete. Howe fabricated Chevelle-type frames are made to replace the popular 1977-85 Impala/Caprice GM OEM frame, along with the 1968-72 Chevelle that have become standards for the modified classes. They are available with or without A-frame mounts. Features and benefits: * Howe fabricated frames sell for less than reworked OEM frames, if you can find one. A surviving stock frame that is not crashed or rusted out must be sandblasted, stripped, straightened, and modified to be ready to install. Howe fabricated frames install faster lowering the labor cost of both new cars and repairs. * Howe fabricated frames are compatible with existing components, including lower a-frames, spindles, steering, and springs. Frame rails are made long enough to fit existing nerf bars. * Integral ballast mounts equalize any weight advantage during a transition from factory to fabricated frames. Howe frames are 86 lbs. compared the factory frames, which are 145 lbs. for the Impala and 120 lbs. for the Chevelle. Weight may be added to each side to make the frames equal. * To identify the frame a CNC-cut part number tag is welded on each frame. In addition, a trademarked Howe "H" logo is stamped into each side of the frame rail. Howe will also supply tracks, a tech inspector's drawing, to allow critical dimensions to be checked.
