PM Tex Blackwell

He has all of Franks stuff and makes front ends now, along with all the other pieces.

do you know if Franks front ends were similar to mb's front ends? are mounting kits interchangeable?

Frank's front ends look sweet (or whatever they are named now). I have an old school MB front end myself!

Here is a small pic of the franks front end!



Here is my MB front end. The fenders are wider on the Franks it looks like the hood area looks higher for clearance on the franks as well. Mounts on the fender so hard to tell if the brackets will work. They should

You'll most likely have to make your own mount, I think I've seen the MB mounts. I was never really a fan, quartermax makes a nice kit for like 80 bucks.

i am sure i heard MB still makes their front ends but on a customer to customer basis. Give them a call.

you dont need an MB specific mounting kit. a local fabricator or fabricator buddy can make something that can hold that front end on the car.

ok yea i can make the the front mount part, and yea i still personally like the mb front end, I was lucky to find another one after they stole mine so quickly, but this time i want it to actually have some sort of locking mechanism that involves a key so that no one can steal my front end. cuz before we just had these things rivited on the side that a key wasnt necessary to unlock the front end, just a screw driver.does any one know or done this?

Do you know if they work with the front end? Do you have a number?

What Ryan's talking about from QuarterMax is a universal kit. It's a very nice kit.

You will still need to Fab the A pillar side hangers. Ryan may have photo's of his.

who is ryan and where can i contact him, my main problem is going to fabricate the side hangers, where the front end attaches on the side, my old front end had these types of locks that ive seen everyone has on there front ends, where can i get them here are some pics of my old front end and my new one.

here is the old one, notice how it already had the locks riveted on the front end? it is circled in green




The new one has the same holes already cut out but missing the locks (circled in blue), where can i get them? is there some other alternative that i can use?

Ah. the dzus fasteners. yes you can get them from jegs or summit or some local shops may have them, beware there are different lengths, but i'm sure your going to need some of the longer ones. hope this helps.
