2 steps forward and 1 step back...
one of the biggest lessons i learned from this build so far is that you always leave stuff tacked in place until you are almost finished. i didn't like where i put the front upper coil brackets and decided to move them back. unfortunately, they were pretty well welded up. i thought about leaving them but they kept bugging me so i finally cut them off.
i was really surprised at how warped and thin the frame wall behind the buckets were. i decided to use some angle iron to strengthen up the areas for the coil buckets and the trackbar mount. the weather turned to complete crap and we have lots of thunder and lightning so i'm calling it a night, but here are some pics of where i reinforced the frame.
