got the gas tank out


anyone seen this before? looks like the frame is warped haha


here's those gusset templates. i think ill make them out of 1/4"


got this crossmember torched off. wasnt bad at all... probably the easiest one i ever removed haha


gotta weld in that piece of 2x3 on the rear


ground off the welds of the tabs and removed them all. the ford gas tank fits PERFECT!


cant wait to get this thing fixed and the toy flanges (is that what they are called) welded on :)


i love how tight up the tank sits! so much clearance! gotta build a wicked skid plate though... would hate to slam down and kill it...


i left the tabs on the frame (that are part of the frame) to help support the tank


looks real good! and i have enough room in front of the tank to mount my shocks on the once was crossmember?


cut the stock ebrake arm off, cause i dont need it anymore

cheers!
