First frame for my first real build (pics)

Edited: 10/30/2007 1:28:02 PM by humanmachinehead

Well i picked up a 93 s10 for pretty cheap while i was at school, and i built a frame for it in my Chasis Fab class. Its not completely done, but pretty much all of it besides the actual cantilever bars. This is my firstserious build towards a mini, so be gentle, lol










Big notch for 22's, and the plug welds are internal gussets to help support each joint




Bottom bag mounts


attachments for the top link bars








crossmember for the notch



still gotta made some tabs and little tidious stuff, and the cantilever of course, then i can mate it to the front clip

looks good man

Fucks yeah looks good oughtta be a sweet looking frame when you get done.

Looks good, keep it up!

thanks guys, this thing was fun as hell to build, but i gotta say, painting is still the passion. Waiting on a job to paint custom choppers as we speak Pretty sure i got it, just gotta wait for the shop to open in a coulpe weeks

Man, thats gonna be badass. Good luck on finishing it up

Looks good! You must catch hell from everybody else. I see a dragster and a hotrod in those pics, people must wonder whats wrong with you spending so much time on a mini . But Like I said looks guud!

Actually there was another guy that built a full tube chasis for his nissan that was dope as hell, and another guy build a frame for a 50's pontiac that was gonna get bagged. That dragster was a school thing that never got worked on, the hotrod was a fiberglass re pop that was cool. I think kids with mustangs got hated on WAY more than the minitruck guys, especially the guy that had the red one, i wanted to that @%$#er soooo bad haha Dipshit put a cobra IRS in it so "it would hook up at the track better"

what whyotech did ya go to? I wish i had of uilt a full frame while i was there. Hell im thinkin bout goin back just so i can do that lol

Pretty cool lookin.

One thing to consider would have been to mount the bag upside down so the air line doesnt have to move. Like use an upper circle plate as your lower (solid) mount and run your lines out the bottom.

I like the internal gusseting.
