How to box a frame for looks and function

This is Tech Week on the HAMB, lots of interesting postings. Altho its a Chebby truck the procedure transcends "gender"

HAMB stands for the Hokey As*s Message Board. which is the forum on the Jalopy Journal. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/

if you dont mind the foul language, drama, and "unusual" personalities, its a really great place with a TON of information.

I checked the article, not sure I'm hip to the way he's weldnig it up, kinda loooks like a disater to have a fully boxed and twisted frame.

I'd prefer the frame to lay flat and keep things in line that way. Seems easier to measure corner to corned when flat and keep any twist out when laid flat.


JMO, and the way I have done it.
