Default started another tube chassis build.

I recently started a new chassis build. I'm going to cannibalize my last build for everything but the chassis. a friend of mine said I should take more progression pics, so on this one I will.

let me know what you guys think.

here's where I'm at right now.





and more little welds on this one too.

I like your build too.

this is my 3rd chassis with the "double rail" design. I got the idea from the 1:1 buggies. I really like the look, not to mention the strength of it.

Warren, What welding setup are you running again? I know you mentioned it before, but I'm getting old and can't remember what I ate for lunch.

Subscribed to see where this ten cents goes!

well I tore down the old rig to bare chassis.



I tossed in the front axle and suspension to see where the cab mounts will fall on this one.





the cab will sit alittle higher then it is in this pic.
