Haha, yes! And I finished the boxing of the frame. I got two tiny little holes to patch up on the front frame. Then after that is time for paint. Hopefiully tomorrow.

How hard was it to box the frame? I think it might be necessary to do because I'm putting a motor with 456 hp and 470 ft lbs of torque in my truck. How much metal did you have to buy?

it wasnt that hard really, its the amount of time it takes. i Used carboard to make a template, then cut the steel. It would be alot easier with a band saw or something else the a grinder to cut it. But oh well. wasnt that much steel really. Little less then 4x8 sheet. I got the metal shop to cut the sheet for me so i didnt have much to cut in reality.
