So it only took all Labor day weekend to weld all the tubes in! Granted I only managed to get started after lunch everyday but it was alot of work!
I'm very happy with the finished product! Even tough in my crazed mind I kinda have an itch to add a few more tubes.......hehe.....
somebody stop me!
....next step is adding all the dimpled gussets......
here is this weekends work.....
First the plate.....
then the bottom support tube.......before
after
here it is from the other side...
then the top tubes
then stitched it to the fender
here you can see the 3 tubes that make up the strut tower tubes and the dash bar diagonal connector tube ( at least thats what Im calling it.)
