[PROJECT] Laidout53 Part II

Time for a new frame and link setup on the Dodge. This time im going to make the front crossmember and bag mounts, aswell as Im doing a parallel 4bar and panhard in the rear with bags and hopefully a small cantilever. Going to have sway bars front and rear. This time the running boards will lay out and im going to run 28.5" wide whites (3"). If time permits im going to chop (5") and body work it with some other body mods that I'll mention later when i get there, including custom inner fenders. Also will be doing a full interior. Hope to paint it Navy blue with a medium dark red interior, and flake the motor/trans medium red as well, as long as time permits...

Anyways heres the pictures of the tear down.

Steel for the frame...( three 10' sticks of 2x4 and two 10' sticks of 2x6)


Front clip off...


Bed off...


Cab striped and ready to be removed...



Bare frame....





Bring in the frame table tomorrow and will be starting the frame this coming weekend... more to come.

Justin

Re: [PROJECT] Laidout53 Part II

Well i had to move the rear section of the frame up, aswell as i got the rear tube notched for the exhaust tips to go under. Got the frame squared and picked up the steel for the A-arm crossmember(3x4x3/16). Next is some temp frame bracing and them on to finishing up the front frame horns.

heres the pictures...

Re: [PROJECT] Laidout53 Part II

Looks good! So how many frames have you built from scratch? Did you just one day decide to build your own? Is this something you do for a living? Sorry for the questions.... Just curious.
