Exceptional welds! What welder was that little rug-rat using?

This is a good looking frame. Kinda glad I've still got the OEM sub since I have more options by waiting. The punch/flare would go great with the look I'm after.

Couple questions...

1. Is the hub-to-hub dimension of this setup the same as OEM? Trying to understand what, if anything, is to be considered when it comes to wheel/tire fitment. A little narrower than my current setup would be added benefit with my setup.

2. Will there be tabs front and rear of the LCA mounting locations to put them in double-shear?

Hub face w/o rotors is 60.5.The LCA will be in double shear.The rear lower brackets are finished just not in the photo.We are still working the frt bracket to hold the LCA and the rack & pinion bolts also in double shear. In a few days Kevin should have frame all finished up and assembled for everyone too see the final product.

Well gang Kevin is all but finished with the fab workon his sub frame of the new design.A few lighting holes to drill then off too the powder coater

I think the new design turn out great.Kevin did an awesome job.It ended up being a few pound's lighter,a whole lot stiffer,And look's Outstanding.and working on it togather was fun.Now it's time to start working on that alum unit.
