Help in identifying this frame
This frame and body has been sitting in a garage for years. Can anyone help identify the manufacturer? Rectangle tubing with kick-up in front and rear??
Thanks

Looks home made. That drive shaft angle?

Whoa!
Probably straightens out quite a bit with the body on and she's on the ground...

The rear suspension is in full droop as the jack stands are on the frame. When it was on the ground the driveshaft angle was OK.
A little more information from a previous owner. He purchased the new frame and body in 1997 and thinks it's Everett Morrison. The only paperwork that came with it was Shell Valley brochures and is dated 1997.

As far as, I know all Everett Morrison frames used round tubing for the main rails, only change was switch to stainless steel tubes later on.

That frame does NOT resemble the frame in the E-M I used to have. It was built in the mid-90s.

I appreciate the driveshaft angle will obviously be much different when the suspension is loaded, but will the pinion angle match the installed angle of the engine / transmission output shaft? If not, that needs to be adjusted.

I agree with Byron, looks just like my old NAF.

Yes, my 1985 NAF was identical. I wish I had not sold it

Thank you all for your help. I have added a few more pictures to help in nailing down the manufacturer. I was unable to pull up any pictures of the NAF frame, just completed cars. Thanks again.

It does appear to be an early NAF chassis. Looking at the original sales material I have from them, they do not show a bare frame.

I have always had an oriental rug of some sort on the floor of my shop. This is a new one that really keeps me "awake"!
Thanks for noticing.
Does anyone have a sales brochure or manual for the NAF Cobra that could be copied?
