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..

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..

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