I follow mrcfab on IG & recently saw the rail set-up which had me wondering where/what it was going under. Fast forward to today, I'm catching up on the Lat-g builds I follow & what do ya' know, I noticed the unique center structure.

I get the 'revision' mentality as I started my first DIY frame w/that thinking in mind (the 2nd time corrects deficiency's from the 1st attempt). That being said, that's a bunch of work accomplished only to switch designs. I prob would have struggled w/that decision .

Awesome fab work & I even stayed after work just to watch a couple of your You-Tube videos. I think you're doing awesome & like how your approach is when explaining things. I'm in DFW as well. If you ever need a hand... don't hesitate to reach out. You never know when some extra labor will come in handy.

Ditching Rev1 was a tough call, and I had to get there in increments. Ultimately, it's about doing the most right thing for the car, and this stronger, more rigid frame made the most sense; even if it meant sacrificing a year of fab work. This is going to be a 100,000 mile car, and it's worth the stretch.

I'm really glad you enjoyed the videos. They're a lot of fun to make.

Great Video and I love the dog especially when he barks after the first segment.
