That looks like a tricky one to do, nice job.

Thanks v8nutz. I just hope my engineering is what it should be. it seems like this could be done in few hours or so, but it took me at 4 days to get it all figured out. Measure cut remeasure cut a touch more. Had the other side cut out in less than an hour with a better fit.

Since that center X is there to prevent twist of the main rails I believe it's plenty stout, Navy. If anyone wants to look, show them the second side as your example!!Roger

Moving on to next phase of frame reconstruction .
Due to the Trans location I need to build a new center section for the X member. 1st cuts have been made .
I will use this 6"dia. .120" wall tube as a starting point for the new section, it will be cut and oval'ed as it comes out the back edge of the frame for driveshaft clearance.

Looking good so far. Is that stainless? I kind of enjoy building exhaust with a bare frame, crawling underneath not so much.
I just discovered this thread. I have seen Russel's Model-A. It's rough in spots, but it's better than the one I started with. I'm anxious to see it come together. With his welding skills, he...
