yes the frame is in the build process so obviously i need to angle and cut some stuff still its in mock up stage.front frame rails need to be cut and brought up to cross member height which is 8 inches from ground.

Are you building a jig? I did mine without one but kept the A frame. I wouldn't build one without a jig again.

what kind of issues did you run into? im not planning on doing that due to the simple fact to buy more metal for a jog its gonna cost a lot....i may just get a couple to help and make sure this goes together stright as an arrow

Cool build man, I love Nissan Hardbodies. A little advice, it would be best to build a jig now then have a problem and rebuild everything later. You'll spend a little more on materials now but if you have to redo it you will spend a lot more time and materials later. Keep us updated man, looks like a fun project.

Ya they are 100% right... If nothing else just get a big sheet of 3/16th and lay it on the ground so u can weld the rails to it so they wont shift while welding... If u do it "freehand" u won't get it square... so all the time and money ur spending will be a waste on something that walks doglegged down the road..
