The Front is well attached. After the back is fully attached, I'll go back to the front chop the tube and graft the ends in all nice.
I was concerned with the strength of the stock rails and the stress I'm adding.
Decided box the stock rails in with 1/8" plate, drileld holes and plug welded everything I could.
Getting better at making duplicate shapes.
After welding up the 1/8" plate, I plated over that again with 3/16" and made sure any seams between plates below had been overlapped by the plate on top. Again plug welding the shit out of it before welding the edges.
After welding in the gussets I plated over that too (like I did in the front). Dont seem to have a picture of that for some reason?
Its a tedious process.... but worth it i think. Brick house strong so it doesnt rip off on the freeway.
I need the rear corners where the IFS grafts to the original frame super strong, because that will be one of the mount points for what I'll just call "Skid Rails" ;-)
(I'll explain when I get that far)
