So I'm bagging an '87 Mazda for this guy named Manny. He calls the truck Sparky, so thats what its going by from now on. Lol.

This is how it was brought to me.

So I started cutting that crossmember out, because it wasn't going to work. Once I cut out one side it dropped and broke off the other side.

It came clean off. So I hit on the other side I cut a little, and pried at it a bit and it fell off too.

So I reused the good tubing from the crossmember, because it was pretty nice tubing to work with really. So I started my own, and this si where I got today.

Yeah thats 3/8" plate.
I also got the tank mounted. And thats pretty much the last of the square tubing this thing will see.

Elbine, I am also doing the front, and possibly a bodydrop.

Slammed83Mazda, what kind fo questions do you mean?

Tornado, I'm doing a triangulated 4 link with bags on the bars. He wants a lot of lift and a lot fo tube work. And I've been given creative freedom to do whatever I want, as long as it drives and gets at least foot of lift. Lol.
