WOW. that is all I have to say. That is some INSANE fabrication there buddy. Great job. I have one burning question though as I went through your thread--what are you going to do about all that bare steel? Personally I'd be coating that before even dropping an angine there. Beautiful as it is, that rig wouldn't last one winter here in PA like that! LOL
I have two options, currently the frame is removable from the body and I was planning on powder coating it, but I think once i'm finished all fab work, I will disassemble everything and get it bead blasted and use eastwood chassis primer and stain.

Niiiiice, at first I thought this was going to be a hack job. My hat is off to you, beautiful fab skills sir. I can't wait to see this finished. A video of it crushing rocks will work for me.

with a drive shaft mocked up, when flexing in all directions its about an inch from bottom or top link. that's with a stock XJ front driveshaft OD.
