Got the frame done (almost)

[asianflava]

I got my steel and dropped it off at my buddy’s shop yesterday.

Today, I went over there around 7:30 to start working on it. I cut the miters and cut everything else to length, then I set it up and had my neighbor weld it up. Two and a half hours later, my frame was done (except for paint, chains, and lighting). I towed it home without lights, tag, or chains; it is only 3 miles. The roofing compound is still not dry (I guess I put on too thick). I’ll find out if it fits this weekend.

Started with this:

See what that sandwich floor did for you?
BTW- Your frame looks nice and light!!!

Holy cow! That is a bit of overkill don't you think? I guess it's better not to find out. I am still undecided as to wether or not I will install a tongue box. I would like to, but it might be too much of a pain.

I'm sure you will have the weight allowance to play with, but you might want to consider going with a tounge stiffener. Oops... There I go again...
Uh...You should have seen my frame before I lightened it...

Frame looks good, Rocky.
