Other than the bump stops, what parts of the frame can I/should I get rid of at this stage? I don't have the option to sandblast, but I can wire brush the hell out of the frame and paint it, so I so now is the time to remove any useless frame stuff.
Sounds like the beginnings of a very aggressive project. Like it!!!

Are you putting a Porter-built front bolt in section in? Pancake the crossmember with dropped spindles or 'Z'ing the front?

I 'Z'd mine then went totally nuttz and re-fabbed and made a 'flowing 'Z',pancake,narrowed, its still a work in progress.


Which ever route you choose you'll find plenty of good information here, plenty of builds to research and guys willing to jump in and answer any questions you have.
Gotta have plenty of pictures though.
Good luck
