I debated that myself but with a plasma cutter it's hasn't been too bad. Lots of grinding and fitting either way.......no frame is the same.

The place I get my steel from is pretty good to me. They'll shear plate for me for free so that'll help.
I bought a bunch of 8" and 7" wide strips that were 4'-6' in lengths. It's worked out pretty well so far.
Back when I was assembling the t-cases I mentioned the NWF optional mounting foot wasn't designed so you could use it with the 205 clocked flat. I was debating not using it however I've decided that I should so I found an old pic of the foot to review. I then made some paint illustrations showing the modifications it will need so that the mount is horizontal and it also clears the JB Fab shift linkage. Should work out OK.....

Bet you want to "pass out" after all that fitting. Good work.
Funny, never read it that way lol
Thanks Kert.
kept working on boxing the frame, came up with a plan for a gas tank skid that should be pretty sweet. Also plumped the 3" exhaust tube from the merge to the muffler.
And since the plasma was out I blasted off the rivets that held the front crossmember in. Plan there is to add a 2x4 crossmember.

Looks awesome but I'm still going to say it sucks because you were mean to me in the mayo thread.

Nice work! So clean!
Messed around in the garage today, built the removeable skid plate frame.
Also burned in a 2x4 crossmember up front.

That is a lot of skid plate frame
I don't think so considering the design and potential weight that structure will need to support.
I like it all. Looks really good.
Out of curiosity for my own project consideration, how far is the tank below the frame? Is it a 31gal tank?
