Figured I would start a thread with some of the stuff I’m doing. Won’t be anything fancy and it is budget oriented. Working on the back half first. This week was trailing arm mount gussets.
Took the back half to work and spent 3 hours washing it until I had a spotless frame to start with.
The side plates are scrap 3/16 mild steel I had. I beveled the backsides quite a bit to get them to seat flush against the factory welds.
I fully welded the sides first. Took awhile moving around from side to side and letting them cool.
The top plates are made from scrap 1/8 chromoly plate I had.
Next project is plating the frame in front of the motor.
