Ira Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 WORKIN' On The RANCHERO FRAME! I used the Frame from a Vintage Deal's Wheels Tirebird. First I fit the Frame to the inside of the RAMCHERO Body. Then I trimmed the tops of the Frame untill I got a Good Fit and the Tires were positioned right! I cut the rear of the Frame off at an angle to fit inside of the rear of the RAMCHERO. Then I cut a piece of Sheet Plastic to fit the cut -off area. I Glued it in with Zap-A-Gap. End of Part 1...

Ira Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 WORKIN' On The RAMCHERO FRAME...Part 2!!! After I got a Good Fit, I cut Sheet Plastic to fit where the tops of the Frame touch the body. Glued them in with Zap-A-Gap. This will make mounting the body Easy & Secure! Then I sanded the Frame smooth and painted it with Black Primer. Done!
