yep thats what i was thinking

Continued working on boxing today. By work I mean, I practiced stringing my four letter vocabulary into sentence fragments and walked off. The only thing I accomplished was not cutting it up into scrap. Should have just built a chassis from scratch. How is it square and straight yet crooked and nothing matches side to side?!

Sorry guys for the lack of progress. I ask you bear with me for the time being. Currently dealing with some health issues in the family on top of trying to finish up my flight paramedic certification. Plate is kinda full and family will always come first.

thats update enough, everyone has their rough times, hope everyone gets better in the fam and that your plate can soon take on some more food.(project)

Got a bit of work done today. I wasn't entirely happy with how the boxing came out the first time around so I cut it all out, made new plates and burned them in for good. Next item on the list is make a crossmember to replace the one between the cab and box and make all new cab mounts.

WOW very impressive!!!!!!!!!!!!

that's awesome work man- so how does this boxing work? where do you run the brake lines and stuff that usually ran inside the frame? alongside it? in between the body and frame or what?

 

[88GMC]

Thanks Vortec Lover. It'll all run high along the inside. I'll weld tabs to the frame to secure everything.

I see- I've always wondered what people did with that stuff when they boxed the frames, now I know, haha

this is going to be one seriously BA rig, keep it up
