Re: 1 ton rat rod project

No offence but your front frame z looks pretty sketchy. It needs to be fully boxed on both sides and top and bottom. From what it looks like right now all side to side force on the front suspension will be put on the plate you added and eventually I would be willing to bet it will fail. I am no welding master but it looks like (kind blurry when zoomed in) that your welds are to cold or possibly dirty. I do get the usage of bolts but I dont think four on each side in a vertical pattern is enough. Please take a good hard look at your frame Z and make sure its safe. I would hate for something to fail and someone get hurt.
