1951-52 volare frame draft template
Hello gang i need the template to cut my frame for the volare.
I just bought a plasma cutter and im ready to play with it,

i prefer to get a print out since i dont have a big printer and dont know anyone in town with one.
Thanks.

I read the entire thing and I am ready to read it again.
Its an awesome write up.
So Sam, you are saying to use mt old frame to get the measurements to center it and use your pattern to do the rest.????

volare install
I don't have useable templates ,,, but as i found , you really don't need them .. if you'v read , and re-read the John Niolin info , it really helps .
I do have the NO LIMITS tech-talk DVD , that i'd gladly loan you ,,,
My install was on a "bare-frame 48 F1" ,,,,
Do , as is suggested by many ,, move the Volare 1 inch , to better centre it up ,,,, i went 1.5 inches , wish i hadn't ,,,,
do consider "offsetting" whatever powertrain to the right an inch or two ,,makes life a whole lot easier on the left side ,
good luck , you won't be sorry you did the swap ,,,,, jim prowse ..
