Now it was time for me to finish prep for boxing the frame rails. I used 3/16 plate in the enginebay to compensate for taking half of the top of the framerail. the rest of the frame i went with 1/8" plate and in-set it about .2 inches from the lip of the framerail so i could get a good fillet weld. i put a 1.25 inch pipe over the parking brake cable so i could seal up around it on the framerail. but before i commit and weld it out, i have to finish the exhaust. its a 4 inch downpipe, which will go to a QTP 4" electric cutout (after it passes inspection, illegal in canuckia) then to a 4 inch to dual 3 inch splitter, to two Spintech 6000's then out under the passenger side step on the box.
