You're making this look easy - and it's not! How did you determine where to seam the frame in the rear- are those tri 5 rails from another frame or?
Lots of measuring / checking corners I'm sure to make sure it stayed square - this is no project for the weak of heart! Well done!
I hope to see this thing in person someday.There's always something new to learn.Comment

The frame rails are out of a 55 four door, I bought them c- list $50, they were cut off at the same place the rot stopped on mine,, I measured of of the front leaf spring mount, I'm going to put a plate on seam,, should be good for 925hp anyway. Lol..I did a lot of measuring,, but I have no kind of frame rack or Jig so who know ,, it might still track like worm out nova.,I will just cut and adjust leaf mounts at that point..,,,it doesn't matter I'm just building it to pull out of my garage and do burnouts in my driveway,, just kiddingLast edited by Ohio Paul; April 15, 2014, 07:49 PM.Comment
