Had to come catch up, wore me out :lol: I like the way the custom frame ideas are going and the scotts suspension is awesome. So if you are friends with Charles Armstrong this should have some wicked graphics right? I like his time machine yota a lot, one of my favorite mini trucks ever. I actually met him once in the mid '90s in Oklahoma when he had the black toyota that he airbrushed murals from some dracula? movie all over it and the hood was hinged at one corner. He had some huge custom made 17s and chrome leaf springs. Man the good ol mini truckin days, ha ha. He does some awesome paint jobs, there used to be a bunch of them around in Oklahoma.

looking at the template im wondering if you can have al the sides of the frame cut out in one length on a waterjet have them bend where needed and weld the edges together intoo the boxshape , it actually might save a bunch of grinding and should look a lot cleaner but it might be hard to control warping and keeping the box shape square

here is the fish plates, a flat metal plate that will be put on the inside of each side of the frame rail and then i will weld through the holes i drilled in the frame rails to weld the fish plates in solid and then weld up the seams...

It just strengenthens each joint where there is more then just the one welded seam holding each joint together
