FnLow69 · 02-27-2008, 09:24 AM

Finally an Update 2/25/2008

You really suck you know that! Now I am just that much further behind on my blazer build. I guess some day I should at least start it

Looks great, so did the top hat's of teh drop member interlock with the lower crossmember or did you just have a dimension to go by?

FnLow69 · 02-27-2008, 09:59 AM

LOL.... ya nathan gave me some measurement for the location of the "hats". there is a gap underneath/ between them for welding.

abadsvt · 02-27-2008, 08:35 PM

Looking sweet! I love the way the dropmember looks in the raw frame. Have had a chance to put the cab on yet? Keep up the great work.

Josh

FnLow69 · 02-28-2008, 09:59 AM

Not yet, hoping to in a couple weeks. This weekend i'm going to start on the rear three link.
I got the axle out from under the old frame tonight, kinda wierd to see two bare frames...

FnLow69 · 03-26-2008, 07:59 AM

UPDATE 3/24/2008

WOW its been a month since an update.....

I got the upper and lower bars on and i started on the bag mounts/ tubing work heres some pictures of the progress so far. More tubing work to come, I need more steel........

*FormerMember* · 03-26-2008, 06:22 PM

looks like a rock crawler built it

BACKYARD88 · 03-26-2008, 08:28 PM

Looks good, nice work

Travis K · 03-27-2008, 08:46 AM

Your frame is looking awesome. I can't wait to try my hand at making my own frame. Any advise on figuring out the geomentry for all of the link bars? Also, what are you using to bend your plate and tubing?

bedsled71 · 03-27-2008, 07:23 PM

i like the round tube touch, im glad i did it on mine. makes it look nice.. kinda pain in the ass though huh?

SchreinerM · 03-27-2008, 09:06 PM

Looks awesome. Almost a shame to hide it with a cab and box.

FnLow69 · 03-28-2008, 07:29 AM

Thanks guys, wanted to be further along than this but life happens that way some times....

Make sure the parallel at ride height and get as much tri-angulation to the upper bars as you can with out them binding. I bought a cheap harbor frieght pipe bender seems to work on the thinker (3/16") wall tube.

Madmandav · 03-29-2008, 01:52 AM
