Aftermarket Frames?

[24HOURSOFNEVADA]

I know Matkin's used to make beefy aftermarket frames for 45's. They seem to have vanished. Does anyone know of a company that is making them, or what happened to Matkin's?

Thanks.

Came up in a thread a while ago, don't know if the last post helps but it was the only lead.

I forget who AFW turned into (Advanced Frameworks), but I think still in Lewistown, Montana. I would check with them; they used to make beautiful mandrel-bent frames (not cut and welded like Matkins). I think they had Cruiser specs.
