Twisted Minis · 12-03-2007, 09:41 PM

Do you have enough room to get a bolt in the center bolt hole of the lower bag? It looks like the weld is right up against the hole. You need to run a bolt in that hole, at the very least. Even if you are using the outer bolt hole, because the bag will work its way out of position and slide around on the mount if you only use the outer bolt. Just FYI.

Also are you going to box the section below your upper link cross member?

fiveinchbodydrop · 12-03-2007, 09:50 PM

yes and yes seth lol. i welded the plate on there with a bolt and a socket on it so i knew for sure it would be able to bolt to the bag in the center.

i just havent boxed the part in yet, i have several things i have to "clean and tidy " up before i spray it

s10fan2000 · 12-03-2007, 10:56 PM

coming together really nicely. good work.

Innis · 12-04-2007, 04:41 PM

ya but you said wont see alot but when u do if u want me to video i can. and the work looks good i would of figured u would of went a different way with the upper bar mount and done it more like the notch.

fiveinchbodydrop · 12-05-2007, 06:11 PM

i couldnt make up my mind how to do the gussets....i dont really love the way they are now but o well. ultimately the bed will be sheet metaled and you wont see it.

scrubz · 12-05-2007, 10:07 PM

is that crossmember for the upper link bars permanent. I've watched alot of your builds and just expected more of you I guess.

EDIT: well, I see that the bed is gonna be sheet-metaled and it's really just got to be more "functional" than pretty. so nm

wagonproject · 12-06-2007, 06:39 PM

Looks nice.

But why didnt you 45 the pieces for the front crossmember (the one the uppers are bolted to). Never got why people just stacked the metal...

fiveinchbodydrop · 12-06-2007, 07:14 PM

im at least gunna cap em, maybe 45 the top then cap it...but like i stated earlier, this is gunna be sheet metaled over. i never leave my frames out in the open, its not my style and i dont really care for it. so if im gunna cover it why build a buncha tube work and such????
