Re: Project: "just a little rust repair"

That tube frame is super sweet, I was wondering if anyone is doing something like this... Do you know the weight comparison to the original frame? Sweet build by the way very inspiring!

Thanks man! You know thats something I was always going to try to do as this build has went along but I never did it. But before we welded everything together one of the frame rails was really easy to pick up and move by yourself, but since then we've added all the bracing between the rails and around the rear differential. When we tear it back down for paint I'm going yo try to weigh the stock rolling chassis and the new one and see.
