I ordered and picked up the steel to start building out my frame table.

The frame table will be made of 2x4 .120w tubing, bolted and shimmed together (in order to remove the chance of warping the main rails).
I started getting the corner braces made.

The are .25" Plate, plasma cut out, then bent into 90° corners with 2" .120w Angle iron mitered in. Just need to get them welded up.

Got 75% of the passenger side LCA built. I have the coil over mounts cut out, but need to get them bent and welded in.

Slow and steady.

Had a day off and made some major progress on my frame table. I got everything welded up and bolted together. The table ended up being very square. Its within 1/32" corner to corner so I am pleased.

I got my buddies 3 axis rotary laser today so I will be ready to start getting the table leveled out and setup within my space. I mopped the floor tonight and got all the oil and grease up. Hopefully it gives my chalk lines a fighting chance. I'll be spraying so clear coat over them to help out.

Went from awesome table build to a mission impossible movie set......love it!!!!

We're going HAM. Lol.

My buddy has a big steel company and erects buildings and he has all sorts of equipment he lets me borrow. I got this rotary laser and some fancy ass 4 foot long digital level that is accurate within 2 minutes of a degree. Makes it super nice for OCD fella's like myself.
