I am still going to try to prime and paint the inside of the frame and boxing plates but I am sure there will be some areas exposed from being burnt from the welding.

3. I believe it was 3/16".

4. I might have some more of the mock up process but you will see more of this when I pull the drive train and do final weld in of the motor mounts and the final weld in and completion of the frame boxing.

Good luck with your project and if you have any questions feel free to ask.
okay so your going to box the entire frame then? and i cant wait to see more progress you guys on here are very inspiring
