well today my friend came and boxed in the frame and tached it to the frame and also put on the frame and tached it in. it was tached only to be ok'd by my other friend then its going to be fully welded.




theres some support frame here ^^^^^ so we notched it to allow the frame to be seated correctly on the old frame.

Very nice. Looks good. If you get time take a look at my Tubbed Impala SS
http://www.youtube.com/user/TubbedSS

I have more to do. I'm looking for a used set of 31x18.5x15 or 33x21x15. for test fit. I'm running 29x18.5x15 on 15x15 rim. I still have room so I would like to go bigger.

well my welder was able to come today and fully weld the frame on to the car did one hell of a good job. we also installed one impact bar that goes to the bottom of the new frame to the front so when i launch it sends the energy to the front not just in the rear tires.
well heres the pics. he will come and put the other one probably monday.

ok well my friend came in today and welded up the other impact bar. it looks great he also boxed in the frame and the rocker panel area. the frame is rock solid we might do additional reinforcement later but for now its complete.

phase 2 coming soon putting the roll cage on.

I know why he's doing it, but the pic of him holding an auto darkening lens up while welding is still comical.
