Well durning the day I'm a system administrator for a ambulance company. So I use this to burn off steam. I've been working on cars for over 12 years now and I'm only 26. I couldn't afford to pay other people to fix my cars so I started to do it myself. Then I bought some books and learned to weld and it just went from there. I know some people that have been doing this for years so I just watched and learned. The most important thing is to measure ,measure and measure some more. Being off more than 1/8" will turn everything into a nightmare.
"I learned that building a frame on jackstands doesn't work". This is the third version of this frame. You can see the picture on the first page. That was the first version. I finally built a frame table that made my life eaiser. Really once you learn to setup the front end geometry and the rear end geometry it's cake from there.
