Heey good to cya back at it Aaron. Keep us posted I want to see this at madness...or an ohiosteva.

[Nerd Racing]

Thanks man, its been a while but I'm back! Better equipped both tool wise, material wise, and $$ wise. So LETS DO THIS! lol

Speaking of which...

Looks uglier than it really is under there... Have some of my handy work attached already.




And a shot of my work for the day (only had 4 hours to work on it by the time I got there, got tickets to a hockey game tonight!):





My tack welds are horrendous. I think I need to replace the tip on the welder. Also seriously considering upgrading to a hobart handler 140 amp MIG instead of my 90 amp flux cored lincoln.

I'm going to work on it some more tomorrow morning before a stag party. Busy Busy Busy!

you'll like that Hobart if you go that direction.

so am i seeing subframe re-enforcements?

[Nerd Racing]

Kinda, they are dual purpose. Hopefully you will see tomorrow when everything is all tacked together and I can mock up the final pieces of my monstrocity up front.

So I got a lot more done and didn't like the look of how things were going. So I'm going to try making them a different way what will have less welds and more precise cuts. (i.e. milled from 2-1/2" 1/8" wall tube) Then I will add the flanges from laser cut plate (hopefully).
