Re: 1965 frame back half help?!

the way you tie into the frame is up to you but it will determine how you make your first cut. I still think you would be best served using cardboard to set up the backhalf and then copy it for your cuts.

You will have to cut that front crossmember. Take a look at the way that Porterbuilt makes a notch for it for ideas. Some people use tube but I don't like the way it looks with the flat steel.

You can also just make your own out of rectangle or square tube and use it for your 4 link or to triangulate your notches.

Spend some time looking at backhalfs before you start planning or cutting.
