So I was in the shop the other day to see the frame since I was told it was finished being welded.

The frame team has done an awesome job, looks great guys, the engine mounts are great to, install/removal of the engine looks like it will be much easier this year.

Hopefully this being done will provide motivation for everyone on the new team to get this thing to rolling chassis, once you hit that point everything just seems to fall in place.

Pics below, enjoy! (PS: pics taken with my new camera phone, 3.2MP w/ flash and auto focus: HTC touch Pro)

Now that's just sexy, very nice work :twisted:

I'm gonna be honest, seeing elements from the design I left made me giddy. Leg room looks much improved. How's it feel when you sit in it?

As we all know, the real fun begins here on out! Keep going the way you are so far and a top 40 is well within reach!

You must be noticing that it was MIGd, and the reason for that is time. The frame guys this year decided that the fitup required to TIG the frame would take far too long, thus, it was MIGd. As for the welder, it's as good as ever, had a sliced shielding gas hose a little bit back, but that's been resolved since. So... anyone up for TIG welding the custom headers?? :lol:
