The Harbor Freight one had to be strengthened up because it would flex all over the place.. I no longer have it.. I gave it to a friend of mine..

Thinking about getting one and harbor freight was not on my list but saw your post. Just had to ask
thanks

Here are a few updates.. We have been working on making room for the
345-30-20... We built new frame rails out of .120 thk material so that we have good mounting & welding point for the pannard bar & just making a few things more strong for the Mast Motor.. Cut out the package tray & welded a tube in place that ties into the pillars... First time we make our own tubs..

Got more coming in the next couple of weeks ..Talked to Mast today.. Looking like I will have a motor mid Feb...

Looks sweet Cris. Are you extending the rear of the tubs down to the rockers? Appears so. I like it.

Adam- The new tubs are made to weld to stock points.. They extend to the rocker panels & we are doing them in two pcs... the outer tub will be done when we get the face of the qtr panel back on..

It is a Camaro Vince... I was playing around with the split on Firebird tail lights to make it look like RS Camaro tail lights.. don't like it.. Just gonna put the stock ones back in their..

The nice thing about when you open a car this far up.. It makes it easier to fabricate & weld.. The tubs are done & ready to be welded in place but we need to finish up the trunk first...

WE were gonna fab a cool new trunk pan but drew the line sonewhere.. Using the stock one with new trunk fillers.. Thought we would try something new with our Optima billet battery tray.. I think it looks ok.. :D

Tomorrow we weld it up all together.. next week we start the four point cage..
