everything in between the rear fenders and cab will be cut out of the body and tube roll bar will find it's new home with intergraded rear tubed bumper....well so far this is where i'm at and i'm still looking to make my mind up between RC4WD's shoer sourse hardcore axle or there wraith centered alum axle, hope ya enjoy looking as much as i like making this stuff "thumbsup" .........bob

....
 
Nice Bob...thanks for sharing this with me...as always, fabulous tube work...I like the clothes pin idea too, gonna use that one

"thumbsup"
 
as of right now i'm adding up tube length so i know how much i need to finish the frame and bumpers and such, plus to get my steering angles in the right spot to clear the center drive shaft to the front diff.........bob

....
 
in building a full tubed frame for my pro 4 i need to look at tubed frame pictures of short course trucks, did a web search and really didn't find anything I can use....
 
yeah sorry bout that year thingy, LOL....I see lots of triangle braced frame parts and will just do that where I think I need them to be....thanks for the links guys "thumbsup" ....
 
yeah now that temps are in the single digits here in PA and my shop is a 8x10 metal shed with no heat, gonna be slow going now :lmao: ....
 
got a few hours in before my finger tips couldn't hold small stuff very good any more :lmao: ....next time out i'll have some pic's from a steel plate 1/16" thick to braze to the lower frame to hold front diff....then alter the tube just a bit to clear diff housing....this mount will be super small and simply clean looking "thumbsup" ....
