mazda full frame build

here is the start to my full frame build for my Mazda.. it's completely one off from front to back.. custom built spindles in the front and custom one off rear knuckles for the independent rear suspension.. the rear knuckles utilizes 4wd ranger front hubs cuz they are the same spline count as the supra shafts I'll be using.. not building this to tuck huge wheels but to handle more like a pro touring hot rod... It'll be ls powered and have sway bars front and back ect... Hope u enjoy what's been done this far.

.

Ill be watching it for sure. Sounds fun too

Neato. Im building a frame with a ford 8.8 irs setup as we speak. Looking forward to what u do.

Looks good love the fab work

Wow the work so far looks like this will be a killer build. Looking forward to the updates

So i take it you arent worried about weight?

Worried about weight? What do u mean?

The front looks super heavy. If you want it to handle and be fast then i would just assume you would be watching weight at every corner.

The spindle ways about 2 pounds less then the stock spindles and the brakes are much lighter as they are willwood dynalite 4 pot calipers ect. The arms and spindles together are vertually the same as stock.. the uniballs are the only thing that has significant weight.. as far as the chassis and arms it's all built out of 1/8 inch plate with internal gussets and double plated around the pick up points and uniballs and heims.. so it's really no heavier then a stock clip.. if it is at all it's by very little.. the motor will be set further back in the chassis so it's more about balance.. this truck will way less then 2500 when it's done I hope.. but either way it won't be super heavy.. I'm not using 1/4 inch plate like most minitruckers.. but I can understand if u just look at it why u would think that..
