Got a new plasma cutter on the weekend. So today we started by cutting the 90* frame bends into two 45* bends. Then we made a temporary gig to tack the sub assemblies

Today we started modifying the front crossmember. First we made a 1/4 X 2 plate with two nuts welded to one side. Welded it to the mounting point for the frame. Then we started cutting the 2X4 frame section |
Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
Great build you have going on. Its probably to early to tell but how do you like the versa cut 60? I have been looking at it for awhile. It had very good reviews.

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister

Todays work. First we made an angle bracket to bolt to the crossmember. Bolted everything together and tacked it to the 2X4 tubing. The next step was to start building the transition between the2X6 and 2X4 sections |

Started working on the front frame rail for the drivers side. In the first picture notice the angle between the horizontal and vertical where the frame rail sits. In the second picture we cut a 3/8 strip out of the bottom of the frame rail and two cuts on the side. Then used clamps to bend side. The third picture is the side tacked |

Today we finished making the drivers side front frame rail. Cut two crush sleeves and welded them in. Last two pictures are with the front frame rails tacked in place.

First two pictures we put the front suspension back together Next, after some careful measuring we removed the rest of the corvette frame and left the rear suspension on the table. The last shot is the first two pieces of the rear frame section |
Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
Man o man this is one awsome build you got going on here! Gonna be following this! Just out of curiosity why you using a Corvette for suspension?
