I haven't been able to see any of the uploaded pictures on this site today.

drewskiren · 02-14-2015, 11:08 PM

Man, it's too bad y'all can't see the pictures. Supermodel friends of my wife came by today and they are holding the frame pieces up where they are to be welded in all of the pictures.

Oh well......

Saturday night picture time!

Cardboard is probably not the strongest frame material.

I pulled out the outboard frame rail after I made templates of the upper and lower rail parts. (I just had it tacked in) Then I welded in the bottom piece and the top piece. I'll leave the side out until I mount the crossmember so I'll have access to the mounting nuts. I'll probably get it all bolted in and then weld the nuts to the inside of the frame rail, then weld on the outer frame in completely.

**Advanced Design** · 02-15-2015, 02:55 PM

Well, I didn't see the super model pictures, however the frame work is looking really good!

drewskiren · 02-15-2015, 04:03 PM

There was a mishap with the wire wheel...

Yeah, that one girl definitely needs a cheeseburger! You can barely see her behind the frame rail

I'll take that over a sawzall mishap any day!

I've had more than my fair share of wire wheels twisted up in my tee shirt...

OldGG · 02-15-2015, 04:12 PM

Oh no, Who did it get ?

68Timber · 02-15-2015, 04:44 PM

Ouch. My son used the twisted wire cup on the angle grinder for the first time yesterday, made me nervous for sure.

It was the newbie on the grinder. Next time I'll give more complete instructions. Sorry Biz.

When I was a kid, my dad bought a used 1957 Buick Roadmaster. What a ride !!

Zoomin · 02-15-2015, 10:49 PM

Just a little exfoliation, Biz. Happens quick, don't it?

drewskiren · 02-16-2015, 12:45 AM

After I played Medic with Biz I went back out and cut and formed the inner frame rail, then cut out the frame part that is in the way for the Jaguar upper control arms. Again using my method of tying it together before cutting it loose. It worked like a champ on the first side, everything checked out level and square.

drewskiren · 02-16-2015, 12:54 AM

Next up is making, shaping, and fitting the outer frame rail. This one only gets tacked in and will act as an access port to get to the crossmember mount nuts.

Looking straight down, you can see the rear crossmember mount. It will line up perfectly in the center of my new frame rail. Once I go for placing it precisely I will drill 2 mounting holes in the bottom of the new frame rail, weld the nuts on the inside of the frame, and then weld the outer frame rail on solidly. I'll do the same for the sway bar mounts up front too.

drewskiren · 02-16-2015, 01:05 AM

Oh who am I kidding, I finished the whole thing already.

**oldman3** · 02-16-2015, 12:30 AM

Doesn't take but a small edge, and away it goes, hope it didn't hurt to bad...Jim

**Advanced Design** · 02-16-2015, 03:41 AM

Ouch for Biz! Hope that doesn't keep her out of the shop.

Nice work on the frame Drew. Looks good!

FL71C10 · 02-16-2015, 10:39 AM

Looks good. That thing will be a roller before you know it.

Hope Biz feels better soon.

ChuckDriver · 02-16-2015, 11:34 AM

Nice work!

ERASER5 · 02-16-2015, 12:25 PM

Thankfully it's just a flesh wound. Now she has a cool scar to go with the cool car and of course, the cool story to go with it.

Seriously glad it wasn't serious. I've been attacked by wire wheels before. Not fun, at least at the moment.

TennesseeZ · 02-16-2015, 12:01 PM

Biz should be so excited the scrape doesn't bother her, absolutely excellent work on the frame, very professional and looks well engineered.

drewskiren · 02-16-2015, 12:37 PM

Thanks all, Biz is better and will be back on it today.

We've got lots of grinding and polishing to do on my welds. On some of my parts I forgot to get the cosmoline off and it was causing some splatter and general ugliness. Everything burned through well enough, just not pretty on a few of the passes before I figured out what was happening.

**youngrodder** · 02-16-2015, 02:40 PM

Nice job on the frame. At least Biz is now all in. She had invested sweat, and after the grinder mishap it looks like she added blood and tears to that investment in this project.

Nice work
Marc
