Re: [PROJECT] Laidout53 Part II
Work on the frame a little last weekend and some this weekend, got the driveline hoop crossmember made and installed,still needs some kind of gusset. Also got the upper wishbone installed, front tabs on the wishbone still need gussets. I got the body mounts tacked into place also (frames going to be sandblasted so i didnt worry about cleaning them up).
Heres the Pictures... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() What do you think? Justin
