- - project go for broke 70 chevelle (https://www.lateral-g.net/forums/showthread.php?t=39461)

making progress one weld at a time! getting a chance to refresh my welding skills again. when you don't do this everyday it takes a bit to get comfortable again! and attempting to learn 3 d cad. a couple of nights a week at the same time is a ton of pressure on teaching a old dog new tricks! so the Chevelle has been moving slow but we are still moving forward.!

LOL. i just love quality fabrication and I am inspired by so many awesome builders and I just want to make something cool and fuctional as well.! i also want to be able to pull a trailer with the car so we can take it on some family camping trips too! and when i get a vision in my head i have to go through and make it happen however stupid they are!:bang:

Eric, Far from idiot. This makes perfect sense. The guy I bought my car from pulled a boat with it and the rear cross member was cracked and bent. I have since had that fixed. But if you want to pull your camper with it, then this step is a much better option.
I had a long conversation with Tony at ABC Performance about his rear frame kit before I bought it. He talked about how lightweight the frame is on these cars and how much the work we do puts more strength in them.
Hey, and it's custom. HAHA Keep at it and keep posting.

ok maybe this was a bit much to take on at one time.going to school a couple nights a week and trying to design,the entire rear frame and suspension . i really should stop listening to the voices in my head!:twak:

Eric,

At this point why not just build your own frame?? Looks great!!

LOL. i think we are way past this idea.the rest of the frame is 75% done so that would be a huge step back.this might not have been the best way to go about this but i never claimed to be smart.lol.

making more progress on the frame section.cut,grind,fit and repeat time and time again until desired fitment works!
