You really suck you know that! Now I am just that much further behind on my blazer build. I guess some day I should at least start it:lol: Looks great, so did the top hat's of teh drop member interlock with the lower crossmember or did you just have a dimension to go by?

LOL.... ya nathan gave me some measurement for the location of the "hats". there is a gap underneath/ between them for welding.

Re: [Project] "Fnlow69" PART II
 

Looking sweet! I love the way the dropmember looks in the raw frame. Have had a chance to put the cab on yet? Keep up the great work.

Not yet, hoping to in a couple weeks. This weekend i'm going to start on the rear three link.
I got the axle out from under the old frame tonight, kinda wierd to see two bare frames...

looks like a rock crawler built it :)

Re: [Project] "Fnlow69" PART II
 

Looks good, nice work:D

Re: [Project] "Fnlow69" PART II
 

Your frame is looking awesome. I can't wait to try my hand at making my own frame. Any advise on figuring out the geomentry for all of the link bars? Also, what are you using to bend your plate and tubing?

Re: [Project] "Fnlow69" PART II
 

i like the round tube touch, im glad i did it on mine. makes it look nice.. kinda pain in the ass though huh?

Re: [Project] "Fnlow69" PART II
 

Looks awesome. Almost a shame to hide it with a cab and box.

Re: [Project] "Fnlow69" PART II
 

Thanks guys, wanted to be further along than this but life happens that way some times....

Make sure the parallel at ride height and get as much tri-angulation to the upper bars as you can with out them binding. I bought a cheap harbor frieght pipe bender seems to work on the thinker (3/16") wall tube.

Ya but the tubing notcher i bought helped out a lot,no more using a grinder for it, but im not done yet so well see...

well there wont be any bed floor so you well see most of it, and there also want be a hood really either...

Re: [Project] "Fnlow69" PART II
 

Did you make your own link bars? What are the lengths used? Looks real good man!:metal:

Re: [Project] "Fnlow69" PART II
 

:c2: That goes WAY beyond my skill level. Nice job.
