Great project..... and super nice work!
I sure would have liked to have seen some gussets on that rear back half to frame connection point though. That's a lot of tire and motion going on for two boxed welds to hold. Just sayin'... |

I'm not a suspension or chassis guy --- and I see the gusset you refer to.... but I'm thinking there's a lot of load on the 2X4 chassis where it's narrowed and attaches to the main frame. Only thing holding that entire back half ---- the weld to the main frame - and that's also it's narrowest point. May be that it's just perfectly "more than adequate".... I don't know.

I agree, most frames built like this are tied into a very extensive cage network. Rotation is going to twist the rear section quite a bit.
Great looking frame. Do you have any pictures of the prep work being done. Must have taken days. |
Thanks guys sorry its been awhile since ive been on to post.
Have been playing a lil catch up , since the frame has been done I decided with the frame looking pretty smooth was time to smooth up the bottom of the car thus been at that and working on the body getting it ready for paint. As for the frame what was done is the orginal main rails of the frame actually going into the rear boxed area of the frame and are welded inside and out to really tie it together and used a strong v shaped gusset to tie together as you see and then I welded up the end caps to finish the boxed look to the frame and even added a number 48 from an old liscense plate to give it a lil style lol Sorry for the lack up of updates ill try and keep you updated projects coming along pretty well getting really close to paint. http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/...mtom/023-5.jpg http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/...armtom/006.jpg http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/...mtom/032-5.jpg http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/...mtom/023-7.jpg http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/...mtom/009-3.jpg http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/...tom/014-10.jpg http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/...mtom/013-7.jpg http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/...mtom/002-7.jpg http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/...armtom/255.jpg http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/...armtom/280.jpg http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/...mtom/001-8.jpg |

Looks good, welcome back.
|
I was wondering what happened to this build... Glad it is moving forward! This car is just cool, all around. Well done. Thanks for giving an update!
|
This looks sweet! Glad it was the car keeping you busy, and it was well worth it. Nice.
|
That color though!
Hope it's got a lumpy cam, would really complete the theme with those pro-street meats out back:bigun2:

Welcome back George. A lot of us were thinking you abandoned the site.
Great work, love what you did with the running boards. Much more but that stood out for me. |
