Toney Daly's Hi Tech AB400 Chassis


Construction Pictorial

Page: 1 2 3 4

Toney Daly wanted an A400. They are however, very rare so Tony did the next best thing. He made one. Yes, Toney took a two door sedan and CREATED an A400 body from it. He calls it an AB400 since a lot of the sheet metal he used to create it was from a '32 Ford.

The chassis for Toney's AB400 will be as hi-tech as they come. We'll be building a custom chassis complete with a pinch nose open wheel front end and a complete Heidt's IRS rear suspension.

To get the body to fit a '32 style frame, we'll need to do some cutting. Before cutting though, we put numerous braces in the body so it will hold it's integrity.

Here you can see the section we cut out of the body where the rear kick up is on a '32 chassis.

Since we had a chassis in the shop, we dropped the body down on it to get some bearings of where we need to begin.

To start it off, we'll begin with a pair of '32 rails in the jig.

Jaysun starts the boxing process by tack welding the plates on.

The rails are smoothed and back in the jig.

Jaysun starts unpacking all the Heidt's goodies.

At this point, we decided to re-group with a fresh set of rails that we'll box once we have modified the frame. We set the body back on and whack off the end of the rails.
