Bud, when you say entire front clip are you looking for a donor or thru a vendor? I've done several 50-51 Chevys and used MII style each time. I think your frame is a standard top hat design which isn't bad for flex but I like to add a K member in the middle to further support and null any frame twist. Might want to look into the Weld it series crossmember, quality stuff. What are you going to use for rear suspension?

Bud, I'm in the process of putting a Corvette I.R.S. under the '39 now. Got to thinking and noticed there were several complete suspensions for sale (front and back) from 'Vettes. What I should have done when building the car was use both but that's 20/20 hindsight. Plenty of options out there pick one and build a stout and stable chassis for years of trouble free rodding.
