I can tell just by looking at the tubing its 2x4 tubing, looks like Jake snuck a piece of 3x4 in there where the core support bolts on,and 2x3 for the trans crossmember. Don't know for sure, but looks like 1 3/4" round tubing on the center there. I'm running the same front clip on the AMX I'm building.

I really like the minimal nature of Jake's frame, keeps the weight down knowing that there will be alot of cage work holding it all together. Loving this build so far.

The 2x3 for the torque arm crossmember was done like that so when I run 3 inch exhaust it will not hang below the frame...Jake's idea

Magnesium Quarter Master bell housing, flywheel, Tilton tri-lite throw out bearing, Quarter Master 7.25 triple disc clutch and billet starter....$500 for all.

I must have gotten drunk and missed this thread! WTF.....

Love the direction Payton!

This is gonna be fun! And I like Swartz's (did I get that spelling right?) comment about cheap = fun.... Every time I see the Mustang I bought from Charley -- I think -- Dude! That's the most fun in the shed - and also the cheapest!

Very nice! If this is a thrift shop build, I'm gonna have to rename mine to Scrap Pile build! Although I do have a SuperT10 from Dave Marcis' old cup car.

Its funny Greg, 80% of my customers are from the Jewish community, and they love Ron Swartz. If I correct them, and they find out it's Schwarz, and German instead of Jewish, they look at me like I'm Satan. So I go by Swartz, Schwartz, it really makes no difference. Most people think Jeff Schwartz and I are related, but we're not.

Well if I had any class I'd have looked it up to get it right --- but I had a busy morning and didn't take the time.

I thee dub you "SCWHARZTIKA" <for all your Jewish friends!>
