I'm never going to use it and I'm tried of looking at it. I have used .083 on race cars before but not 2x4. I will have to put some real creative bracing in the frame. I do have a plan so I'll keep everybody posted. Oh Yeah thanks for watching everybody I left the show 3 months ago. Jessi from extreme is leaving at the end of this month.
Sounds great. I was just trying to help share my knowledge that i have learn (which isn't that much) but after finding out who you are i should be asking you for advice instead. Just curious what are you going to be doing about the deflection that the metal will allow when cornering? Are you planing on using the same thickness for the front and rear section? This should be a sweet build. You should start this in the build section of the 67-72 trucks. That is where most of the people have there build thread. Anyways good luck and make sure you post some pics.
