Re: my '68 chevy (no name yet)

Not really any progress just did some practice on this frame since i wasn't gonna use it and it wasn't in all that great condition. Learned a few small things that most probably already know, but it all counts for me since it's my first time.
Some stuff I'll have to watch for:
1. Dont work too late or I'll just want to get it done and I'l get careless, lol
2. Watch for the angles on the 2x4 or they'll be partially open.
3. Do all measurements carefully and cut carefully.
4. Make sure it's all straight and level before fully welding.

Here's some pictures of the practice I did. Didn't know at first why most people didn't just do it this way until I did it, the crossmember where the arms go on goes down too low in the middle and the frame couldn't sit all the way down, otherwise I would be laying my 22s on the tires I have now for them.
