looks good man, keep up the good work. hopefully they dont shut down your thread like mine did

 

Thanks man I am about to redo the top 4 link bars and cross member then when that's done it really will be on to the motor install.

If they feel the need to delete my build thread it's their choice I hope at some point it gets moved to traditional styled hot rods and customs.

Jake

 

Start of the crossmember the curve will replace the top part top bars will be relocated to the top of the pumpkin and will be triangulated down to the top of the frame rails.should get it done this weekend.

Jake

 

Excellent build!

 

how far apart did you make your cuts? i want to do something like that for my back half

 

Started with a center cut and cut every 1 inch then bent it till the gaps were touching then went back with a 4 in grinder with a cut off wheel and re opened up the gaps then bent it shut agine.

Jake

 

Rear top bars and cross redone still need to adjust the angle at ride height and cut off the other axle tabs and grind down the curve where it's welded back together.

Jake

 

looks so much better

 

Thank you.I am going to make another squar curved style cross for the shocks allso.

man i need to get back to the shop...your truck is making me want to get back out to my shop

 

I keep putting off taking it back apart so I can put it up on stands and mocking up the motor and trans in it lol.

Jake

 

Kinda stuck the motor in to see if or how much needed to be cut out.

Jake

 

Yup had to cut some out.I will get it up on jack stands tomorrow to really fit it up.

Now on to more boxing ect getting the drive shaft to the rear end is gona suck lol.

Jake

 

Got the last of the factory crossmembers out and the rest of the frame boxed.Now time to get the drive shaft shortened and tunnel the torque box and some floor bracing ect.

Jake

 

Got everything tunneled for the drive shaft once I get the driveshaft back from being shortened I can make sure its not hitting anything then I will box back where I cut everything out.
