I am currently reworking the frame on my 32 and at some point the front cross member was taken out and reinstalled with bolts. I would like to attempt to install it with rivets and was wondering if there is information to show the size/length and head style that Ford originally used?

Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated.
 
There is a guy on the HAMB that is building stock looking 32 frames, really nice. I think Lloyd was his name, but if you did a search.
 
I just finished doing mine and it came out great.I bought the tools from big flats rivet co in NY.I had done one years back with homemade tools but the stuff from big flats made it easier and i was able to do it by myself.I had a large supply of rivets so i didn't need to buy any.If you do a search on the HAMB for "lets build a traditional 32 ford frame" i think you will find a good article.I will post a few pics so you can see how nice they can come out if you take your time.As with most things of this nature , setup and prep is the key as well as having the right tools and a good measure of patience. PM me if i can help,Bob
