If you plan on boxing the frame yourself, here's a tip...dont run a continuous bead down one side. I mean, you can get away with doing maybe 6" at a time, stopping, moving down 6" and starting again, repeat...then going back in to fill in the gaps...if that makes sense lol. If you do it all in one go you will more than likely warp the frame by adding so much heat into it. Of course, from what I've gathered you're an educated and well versed man, so I'm sure you already knew this. But, just in case ya didn't or someone watching this thread didnt....there ya Go lol!
Ha, yes and or switch sides. Quite versed in seam welding for track-cars.. well the application of it any how, I had someone working for me that did the actual work and had the initial know how.
And I didnt add it into my other thread but here is my 94 4x4 frame near stripped down and just the flexing of the entire frame and axles by pressing up and down on the front sway bar 3-4" while teetering on a jack stand.. Theres some specifics to my project build that I am addressing concerns of in a methodical way of my madness. I am sure the C-frame as argued from one perspective has its Pro's and Con's as does a boxed in ladder frame.
