Looks like your off to a good start.  |
I don't think boxing the frame is such a hot idea, Maybe it's just me, I work on Range Rovers and Land Rovers, specifically the older series trucks. The biggest problem with all of these trucks is the boxed frame, we see alot that have rusted from the inside out, along with cracking the frame because they don't have any "give". Most of the trucks from the east coast are already on their third chassis, The hot thing to do now is install NEW galvinized frames. Yes, I said new. you'd be amazed at how much stuff we can still buy new.
