Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd

another big problem with this thing, the frame flares waaay out behind the cab, almost the same width of the axle. more cutting...thought i was just going to have to make some leaf springs for it & be done.
of course i didn't have the styrene i wanted, so improvised with c-channel & strip styrene for reinforcment

you can see how much the old frame flares out, & it got wider more at the rear! i left those pieces in so i would have something to line up with. with the new rails in, i'll grind out the old ones & join & mold the frame together
