Re: Bartmans AD-S10 Chassis Swap

yeah metal isn't cheap esp retail. for instance a 6ft 1x1" square tubing is like 20 bucks at lowes, at a metal supplier I found it for $12. But, I found a place and got some drops of all types of random stuff. they had 17ft of square tubing in 4 pieces I got for a total of $12. So less than a buck a foot is better than 3.30 a ft. I'v used probably 35ft of tubing on my floors already.

rad is looking good. only question I have is do you plan on having the stock portion of the mount still bolt to the inner fender/fender? I'm talking about those tabs that come off of the top area on left and right side. I think its easier to have the fenders on so you can tie into them and really see how much room you have with the grille being on there too. but of course its easier to actually do all the welding with the clip off.
