YEA LIKE 30 HOLES SO FAR AND CLEANING UP AFTER TORCHING EVERYTHING OFF OF THE FRAME THATS WHY I GOT TIRED OF GRINDING! LOL. ON THE LOWER BARS: THERE IS ACTUALLY LIKE 1/2 AN INCH BETWEEN THE BAR AND THE FRAME WHEN THE REAREND IS STUFFED IN THE NOTCH, AND IM OVER NOTCHED ABOUT 1 INCH WITH 18s. JUST A NOTE, I MADE ALL MY TABS ON THE FLAME CUTTER JUST FOR THIS SET UP, NOTHING YOU CAN BUY OFF THE SHELF,( I DO HAVE ALL OF THE TEMPLETS STILL IF YOUR INTRESTED) I ALSO HAD THE URITHANE BUSHINGS MADE, THERE NOT AS WIDE AS A OFF THE SHELF BUSHING ILL TRY TO GET A PIC AFTER THE MEETING TONIGHT.

UNTIL THEN..... SEE YA...

It's all .125 sheet. The sides will be double plated with holes once I figure out where everything is going. And there is a piece of 3/4" .188 wall tube welded in the center where the air bag goes.

Nice dimple dies.


Having your lower bars angle out to the frame like that will cause some more rear steer than having them straight.
