I'll have those pics up soon. I'm completely boxing it in with 1/8" steel, front to back and all 4 sides. I started out with a Canadian frame which is stronger then the American frames. I have tubular front control arms, uppers and lowers. They need some werk thou. I'm not really a "bolt on" kinda guy. I always have to modify something. I will be doing a 80s caprice spindle swap for the disc brake conversion. Also will be installing a rack and pinion thanks to "E RODZ" for the help on that. I have a ford 9" rear end, big bearing, 31 spline. which I shortened myself. I won't be using the pan hard bar or the single banana bar. I'm re werking the whole rear suspension.

I'm upgrading my brakes. Doing a spindle swap from an early caprice. So I need to modify the lower control arms for the ball joint. So I machine up some sleeves, now I need to cut the control arm and weld this in

Here's some of the frame, it's fully boxed in. 1/8" steel. All 4 sides. Front to back. I've done a few frame mods to smooth some lines out. Here's the rear body mounts
