Re: z'd frame?

I aree there is nothing wrong with a hefty Z if your willing to do the work to save a few dollars. Anyone capable of properly Z'ing the frame is just as capable of modifying the other things that will need to be changed without spending >$300 to get them done. I appreciate those who do there own work and don't spend alot of money on fancy aftermarket parts. That stuff is nice, but you can quickly sink more money than you have available into such items. I also prefer to do my own fab work rather than shelling out the money. I say go for it and keep us posted on how it goes.

All of the front end engineering in my own truck is done and I'm back on finish sheetmetal work right now. My total cash layout is a set of bags, used plates and cups, and a used Rack & Pinion from a Camaro I picked up for $50. Arms and spindles are stock and it all but lays frame for next to no cost, just a little work.
