1952 Pickup Street Rod project

I’m glad to see I’m not the only one that uses a large crescent for metal work!

I was waylaid for a week when the pointy end of the frame jumped out and picked a fight with my right eye. The frame won. My daughter took her own duct tape out ( I taught her well) and made sure that the frame is now eye & covid safe.



I cut out the notches for the Rack & pinion/tie rods

I'm not sure if I'm missing something but it might be a good idea to add a little more structure to help out the front on your frame since it takes the weight of the entire front clip. On mine I was able to just make a hole through the center of the framerail although I havent decided yet if the fit is too tight or not.

Good point, I may add a strip of steel below to help brace underneath. My plan is to build up the frame complete with driveline, get it aligned (a local shop specializes in custom rod builds) then strip it down, finish welding, paint, and reassemble.
