So we are bagging my friends mazda at the shop. Figured you fellas would enjoy a build thread. We are doing it in stages as he can afford it. Right now, We are only doing the notch/bridge, 4-link and nitrogen bottle crossmember. Ill shut up now and get with the pics...
Here is how it was when it got dropped off at the shop.... Yes that is a HUGE exhaust tip on it..lol
Designed a HUGE notch, then proceeded to cut it on the plaz table. it didnt need to be that big, but he wanted an "exagerated" look...
fitting it up and checking specs o nthe design..
TIG welded all the cross pipes in the notch
Checking squareness with the bridge, getting it ready to weld in
Designed a bridge plate and cut it out on the plaz table
Checking fitment
got the notches welded in and the frame cut out.
I have the frame caps for the notch al cut out and ready to weld in, then we are diggin in to the 4 link... more to come, stay tuned!!

thanks guys. He was talking about possibly doing a 20/22 combo or even a 22/24 combo... but for now he is running 17" denalis, they just arent on the truck right now.

^ LOL, I hear ya on the table Amigo, that is SICK! I have a plasma cutter but a plasma table would be the shizzle! As for the notch - yes its big but it's also in your face big! I like it. The tube work is pretty cool - have seen braces inside notch plates before but your idea shows off that work. Definitely keep us posted on this build, should be fun.

Thanks guys, I like hearing feedback from this forum. You guys know how to give constructive advice without being total dicks...lol
In the last picture you can see the "start" of the notched 4 link mount crossmember for the upper bars. We will have the underside of the notch capped and the 4 link installed this next week. Ill keep the pics coming as it progresses.
The plaz table is such a gift, its nice being in a shop that doesnt mind putting money into tooling. I cant tell you how many "generic" installs that I have done. Its nice being able to put a customs twist on the install.
