3. how thick of metal did you use?
4. do you have any more pictures of the process?
Thanks

Not a problem.
1. I wouldn't. If only the parts that I boxed are done, it will leave the sections between, behind and in front of those areas weaker making them take all of the stress and forces.
2. I am going to seal it off as much as I can so that the only way that moisture will be able to enter the inside of the frame is if it is submerged. 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.
