Thats from the rear pinch weld (in front of wheel) to the ground.

Another nice build!

Just wondering, what went into going with a sub frame and rear weld in system over a full frame?

Rick I asked the same thing. Turns out, the owner wants a fairly stock look when the hood is open, the hydro formed DSE rails fit the bill.

Looking forward to seeing this one come together.....as well as the falcon!

We used DSE mini tubs... Here is how the tub fit with the Morrison rail


The rail has a taper to it, and the tubs don't... We decided to add a wedged flange to the tub that welds to the rails.

We got a re-pop rear floor section and trimmed out the area needed for the IRS. The customer wants a stock looking rear floor, so we made a step in the floor matching all the factory radiuses.



We will fab a new floor area under the rear seat.

We got the inner structure welded in place and painted in the areas we cant reach with the quarters on...


Quarters on!


Heres a view from the bottom showing the rear floor area we made and the aftermarket truck floor raised up 2".
