Here are two renderings we've been working on. Leaning towards the blue.

Making progress on the stepped rails. Just a lot of mocking up, grinding, cutting. welding and not necessarily in that order.

Dimensionally I am pretty happy with the outcome. Side to side height is perfect and front to back placement are within 1/32". I am off .25 degree of vertical on the driver side(should have cross braced it before the heat). I've still got work to do on it cosmetically though.

I am going to lay another panel on the outside here that butts up against the top of the stock frame.

Still need to drill a few holes for Rosettes.

Up to date

August was a busy month of shows so not much progress has been made.

The boxing plates are slowly coming along though.

Braced the top of the step and cut the stock frame piece out.

Got some cool(errr hot) parts ordered this week. :mm: No picture tease yet but parts are on the way. Getting real close to engine/tranny mock up.

The frame is absolutely ugly right now but the fitment is pretty darn good. Had to section the top and bottom(note the cut) in order to pull the outer wall of the frame into the step. Still have to clean it up before laying down a bead.

I wanted to add a little extra bracing inside the frame rail where the front shock mounts. Main reason is our engine mounts triangulate the frame and the crossmember but I am setting the engine back. It's just a piece of 1x2.120w tubing

Started working on the front boxing plates. I cut the driver side with the handheld plasma like I did the rears. Once it fit I used that as the tamplate for the passenger side. There will be a filler plate added to the top of the rail to close the gap.

Sweet Jesus!! Both of those are so cool. But, I gotta roll with the blue though. And thanks for all of the pics. There's definately a lot of R&D going into your products. Nothing's rushed...that's for sure.
