Mrs. Self Built, '89 2200, sfbd

I'm cutting my framerails out of 11 gauge plate on the laser. Once there cut and sqaured up I'll weld tge four individual places together to form a box. After welding and grinding it will look like a nice mandrel bend rail.

I can't wait to get finished! I'm going to re do the z tonight, so I'll get some pics up late tonight. Going to cut the framerails tomorrow. Thanks man!

Good stuff!

DINNER TIME!

This is what ive got so far!

Little flimsy, but here the template for the backhalf. I designed on paper first before I start on the computer design. Whattayall think?

Awesome work. I can only hope my Mazda build will be half as good as this one. How's that Hobart Handler 175 working out for ya? That's the same machine I have. I have to get a tank yet still. Are you running .030 wire and 25/75 mix in the tank?

The frame work was done this way to accomplish a stock floor body drop?

Sorry guys, I never seen your comments posted before today...



Yes, IMO its the best way to do these trucks.

Probably no more pics until after ///RA. I might post a few teaser, but I wanna surprise you guys!

It just seems to me like the frame gets so small it would be very flimsy and alot of flex but I could be wrong....
