Re: Project: Custom 71 4x4 hotrod

Although my frame was converted from 2x2 to 4x4 it needed a lot of work. Good project for someone like me just learning how to weld. Someone had cut a lot of holes in it trying to get the 4x4 suspension to fit so I started by filling these holes with some scrap steel and a MIG welder. I also enlisted the help my buddy Nick to correct the hack job done on my trans cross member. In addition to teaching me how to weld he cut me some nice looking holes into stock steel and cut them to fit a square space I created with a cutter and grinder. It looks 100% better than before. The frame is now ready to get sand blasted minus the traction bar brackets I plan to fab soon.
