Thread: Project "Left Overs" is back alive !

Today we worked on making the mounts that go on the frame and hold the front of the lower bars. Seems like such a simple task, but by the time we designed them, cut them out, shaped them, and got them welded up, it took all day. We still have to weld them to the frame and will get that done one night this week. I kept telling Dan they don't show, but he just ignores me.

Not a lot to show, but here are some pictures from tonight.

Don - looking great as always.

Can I make a suggestion without getting slapped silly? At your frame rear kick ups - add a triangular gusset inside, under the body as well as above your new mounts. They only have to be 2-3 inches, max, on the weld side, but will 'triangulate' the chassis under acceleration loads particularly. Myself, I would probably fish plate it inside, but that's my tendency to use 5 nails when two will hold a piece of wood
