Thanks reaper

Started working on the front frame rail for the drivers side. In the first picture notice the angle between the horizontal and vertical where the frame rail sits. In the second picture we cut a 3/8 strip out of the bottom of the frame rail and two cuts on the side. Then used clamps to bend side. The third picture is the side tacked

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister

Today we finished making the drivers side front frame rail. Cut two crush sleeves and welded them in. Last two pictures are with the front frame rails tacked in place.

Picture one is some of the tig welding on front frame. The last two pictures show the rear inside corner tacked in and some plasma cutting on the rear corvette section
