Man looks like the rear will be draggin soon; good luck with the progress and keep us posted. A lot of fabrication is truely a skilled art.

This is my first time doing a frame off,so slow is the key word.Iknow the rails look a little funny,but with the wheels and tires mounted I think it will look cool.This was just a custom idea I had

W O W, that is looking good. What kind of suspension are you going to run? I have a 62 uni that I have been working on. I originally flipped the rear on top of the springs and then just c'ed the frame but, not to the extent that your doing.

Did you clip the frame or did you weld in the crossmember and such? Also, where did you get the Notch sheetmetal fabbed up? you have something to cut it or did you have a shop do it?

I did clip the frame.I'm not done with the front frame mod yet, gonna finish that while I finish the rear rail box in while it upside down.As far as the second question,my step son programs the laser where I work so I told him what I wanted and he burned it out and then I started to fab it up.
