shop re organised for chassis fab.

pulled the lift out for a couple weeks.

got the left side roof line tube done tonight.  she is tricky.  finish up the driver side and it will fly after that.

you need to make a sign and lay it on the motor that says.. "YES THE MOTOR IS SUPPOSED TO BE BACKWARDS!".. maybe that will stop all of the stupid comments on FB each time you post a picture...

Looks like your welder cart tire needs a little Slime.

571 is cool and all, but I really like the look of this one so far.

the welder cart is just aired down for flex,  aired down via 1/2 hole


15' mig lead makes the welder not really move anyway :)

The problem with the welding cart is the front tires bind up and hit each other as soon as you try and turn it.  :)

more work, going slow.  Copying chassis is much easier than doing your own thing.

packaging sucks.  the rear axle links / pan bar / bumps / coil overs / sway bar / truss have to fit into like a 10" x 10" home....!
