Nice simple design. Only thing you might wanna do it connect the upper shock mounts across. I just dont like seeing anything with only two points of contact.... just asking for something to bend. Triangulate everything you can to make it as strong as possible. |

First tube chassis?? Could'a fooled me man, that's some quality looking fabrication there. Should be stiff and strong, your joints look like they flowed well. Quote:
Like we do with Honda's - strut bars, to tie the tops of the shock towers together. Since they are a uni-body design it stiffens up the chassis considerably... | |

Thanks guys i think i will stiffen up the shock mounts. Thanks Big Mike they did flow good but ive been welding for about 20 years. The frame is very stiff ,no flex at all. I do need to relocate the upper control arms to let the shocks droop propper. I will post some more pics ounce i get it powder coated and some painted body panels on.
