What is an average price for a custom frame?

around 6 grand for the frame, 10 for the frame + mounting body and all that garbage. but for JUST the frame....i believe its around 6 grand.

$6,000k?????????????????? WTF???????????? I know several shops that are selling bare frames raw, with no body mounts on them, but set up for toyota frnt suspension for $1,500 to $2,500..... set up with body mounts and rolling chassis for $3,000

most old school hor roders want the engieneering (sp) part of the deal and to know everything will work 110% not just if it breaks ill fix it later hahahha

if i had the cash, enough to drop and not have to "recover" id spend a LOT more than 6 grand on a frame. Like Max said, he charged 23 grand for a new truck basically. The guy (almost) brought him just a body. When it was said and done, there isn't much left of that stock truck, if anything other than some sheet metal. You can go out and buy you a nice little ranger........or you can bring someone an old mazda and make it one off to your liking, and it be just as, if not more reliable than your new car/truck whatever.


I personally....if I could drop that much cash, would hit up Max or MMAutowerx for the real deal.

How can a frame be worth $10,000?? For a few more thousand dollars, I can buy a brand new car. I don't know, maybe i am missing something

Yea and dont new cars come with NEW frames?

That BBT frame is super clean

Where are you all getting the mandrel bent framerails. Are you outsourcing your measurements and getting them done, or do you have the mandrel benders. Or do you purchase frame rail sections??
