I dont know much about building frames but its nice to see a build of this type that isnt drag racing or offroading.That frame is built like garbage.
I wish I had a pile of garbage like that sitting in my garage.....That frame is built like garbage.
As do I lolI wish I had a pile of garbage like that sitting in my garage.....
I know absolutely nothing about welding, and I realize that your a pro...That frame is built like garbage.
He says his end goal is 2650 lbs. I have no clue what the weight of these trucks are factory but 2650 isnt much more than the FRS I have, and that car handles like a dream.To me it looks heavy... there is a shit load of square tube.
He could have built a chassis twice as strong and half the weight. He went way overboard where he didn’t need to. Don’t get me wrong, it will work, but so would machining a spot for the drivetrain out of a solid block of steel.Nothing to do with welding, it just looks like there was no planning. There's just square tubing everywhere in a million directions and hacked up in many spots for clearance. It's like a rube goldberg design.
