WTB 26/27 Closed Car WS Frame
I am in search of a very nice rust free WS frame for my Coupe. Look at the lower vertical square box tube and for swelling on the face of the lower arc that typically presents as small dimples at the spot welds. Email me or call two five zero, seven six two. twenty-six ten. Thank you for your consideration. Ken Buhler

There are two different ‘26/‘27 closed car frames and they are not interchangeable. The fastener pattern on the header is different. Piano hinge style or clasp hinge style.

Thank you Terry for taking the time to find and post all those links. That was very considerate of you. Dino Marinelli also told me of a Speedway Motors reproduction aluminum one apparently true to fit. I will check all of those on Monday.

Ken, I didn't know that you were "open" to a reproduction frame. I thought only an original would do. Yes, Speedway, Snyder's, and Lang's, offer the aluminum frame, and Snyder's and Lang's offer one in steel, too. I don't know about the steel frames, but the aluminum frames do not come with the piano hinge, unless I'm mistaken.
