I have to ask -- tell me about your frame table... I will be looking to build one at some point and just like to hear the reasoning behind how people built theirs and the pros/cons etc..

Thanks! My I-beam you can see on the frame table is 15inch. There are three, 8inch I-beam running perpindicular to the 15inch you can see in the pic. I had to build some braces to the top plate for strenght. Three pieces was not enough. Then it has a piece of 1/2" plate that covers the entire table.

The table needs to be as solid as possible where there is no deflection. The more braces in the center the better.

If i had to do it again, I would have the 15" on the bottom still, but put the 8" on top of the 15" every couple of feet. Then plate the top. Hope this helps.

Hope this helps.

Here are a few updates. The rear quarters have been stretched, have the block and transmission mocked up, and started to sheet metal the tunnel.

Stretched rear quarters



Start of the trans tunnel






Exhaust cutouts and some views of the bottom






Hoping to have more done in the next week or so. Next is the firewall, then the rest of the tunnel.
