Why did you decide to build a new frame? If you sell your old one someone will be getting a nice peice to start with.

im just not happy with it. im sure it would look fine once cleaned up/ground down and stuff. but now i decided to bag/body drop it so it will just be easier IMO to build a stock floor frame, mustang II front suspension and so on.

While I am not into the lowering scene, I really like what you have done to the chassis. You have several people drooling over the prospect of getting that chassis. Enough on that, please post detailed pics of you fabricating your version of a homemade chassis. While I am sure most of us might not be able to take on such a project, watching the progress will undoubtebly give us ideas we CAN do to our chassis.

thanks man. i will definately be posting pics of it all as usual..

im about 90% sure im going to run mustang II front suspension. i was going to make all my own control arms etc, but since i dont have a bender yet, it will be easier to just buy them. plus getting into all the specifics setting it all up 100%, i dont feel i know enough to comfortably do that much design work.

but here soon im going to be buying some 2x3 tubing, and mustang II front end parts. work from front to back.

Make sure who ever you give that frame to has the intentions to build a truck, I would hate to see it never finished.

What size raer tires/rims are on that truck.
