Thanks for all the awesome input!!

I was hoping to get by with the one big heavy main member.
After all the input I added a lower one and 2 gussets.

I'm hoping to get the rear end done tomorrow night and paint some more.
Then sat get the box on and do the brackets for the disks!!!

Thanks!!!!
And I appreciate all the input from everyone once again!

I'm pretty excited about it and cant wait to see how its going to behave.
I must say its a lot of work from frame clean up to the end result, I think.
Still have a ways to go tho.
I will be starting on the fuel system after this.

Well one thing leads to another!
I figured I would clean up the old fuel pump wires and the trailer wiring.
And it leads into cleaning up the engine bay also.
The pics show it kinda dirty, just needs to be washed.
The last owner was the last to wash it lol!





I also put in new plastic body mounts.

Ordered some fuel line and some other goodies.

I was going to order 10an flex fuel line which was not cheap about 500 bucks or so.
I ordered some alum 5/8 hard line instead which is about 70 $.
So I'm going to run that along the bottom and use the an flex stuff in the engine bay and to the fuel cell.

Some pics of the fuel pump and reg that ill be using.
