Re: Project: AREA|51 [OCD meets ADD]

Day 3 Started with pulling the S10 frame up from the weeds and up into the driveway to start work.

The Chain I had was slightly overkill






Goofing around, Yup, the fenders fit



We spent a few hours getting the frame up and leveled out completely, and welded in lower 2X3 1/4" wall tubing for the DIY frame table.



Then we welded on legs to support the frame for when we cut it.



And cut.... I cut it twice and it is still too short?



We then placed it on more 2X3" tube to raise it up 3" uniformly.



Then sectioned the frame so it can slide together and shorten by 6"



And test fit together ... This took allot of 'trimming' and test fitting to get it just right.





I even took a stab at some of the welding.. Not used to using one so little haha,

NOTE: the top and bottom rails will be cut down on an angle, and gussets made and formed it, then plates will be welded to the outside to reinforce the joint. .. It will be strong!



So that brings Day 3 to a close...
