So this panel came in the shop last night. It's a job now let me give you the run down on this baby. Somebody put a 1st gen Camaro under it and they did a shitty job. The front end runs down hill so the anti dive is gone. When the guy got the truck the old owner told him "Man we had a big block in here" you be the judge.Oh yeah the dottom of the chassis was 15.5" off the ground.

After alittle plasma action we set the panel at ride height.

I put some of the boxing plates in today. I'm not going to box the whole frame it's a money thing. As you guys can see in some of the photos I welded the front 4-Bar brackets right to the frame a lot of people were tell me hey you need gussets well here it is. I like to weld the bracket then take the boxing plate around the tubing this way it is welded at two points.

The boxing plate is 1/8" plate. The next thing is cap the end of the tubing then the
C-notch.

Looks much better now. And your welds actually look like welds instead of a puddle of a dried puddle of metal laying on more metal. I'm digging the spade too!
