update, modified frame, K and box

[Paul]

part nine day nine of my modified..

man I am beat,, longest day yet in the build,, and heaviest..

today I built a K member and boxed the frame front and rear..

I used 2x4x3/16 tube for the K member and 3/16 plate for boxing.

it's all tacked nice and square to the world, this frame when done will be able to take any horse power I put in it..

here is a before picture showing the frame rails with front and rear cross members,

Keep going you making great progress, classy, practical, and user friendly mods.
Usually these "quick" buildups require some "dodgy brothers 'booty' fab", but gotta say I am very impressed.

Again, you can rest when ya dead, keep at it, great to see the progress.

Cheers,
