FMX i'm a welder/fabricator for a living so that helps alot,but really as long as you have patience and can weld thats about all it takes besides a few specelized tools.Did i mention it takes patience
The frame is a chris alston chassisworks frame and you get it in pc's and it all has to be welded together but it comes with blue prints and all the correct measurments so you just lay it out and a very flat surface (or build a jig)and start taking measurments and making reference points on the garage floor. I put a center line from side to side and front to back along with a center line for my axle all chalk lined on the garage floor so that i could take all my measurments from the same starting point that way everything comes out square.
Best advice i can give ya is buy a few good books on welding and fabrication technics and they will help you to learn some of basics as well as the little "tricks" that speed up the process. Besides that a tubing notcher is a must have for doing cages like this.
But again patience can not be substituted on a project like this or any project for that matter,its takin me 4 years to get to this point.
And thanks for the kind words guys...it makes me feel good after all the hard work!
