I'm with you. I've learned a lot doing this. Don't think I will ever do another frame off.

I took your comments as constructive Yeah when my truck is done, I'm moving into new house with a shop. I will be building a custom chopper/bobber next. I think it will be much easier than this big box of metal

I also had the help of my dad doing mine, but it looks like you did it single-handedly so good work on the positioning and tools.

They look great, good job and nice writeup!

I did all but 2 rivets on my own, my wife held the setup on those 2. And I used the rivet setting punch tool from rivet kit. I didn't hit very hard with hammer, I went slow like brotherstrucks guy mentioned and the punch seems to be fine to be used again. I got the kit from LMC. Everybody else I looked at was out of stock of some part of that kit.
