Well like ive been saying i dont have many pics (i know i know i slacked) but here are the few i did manage to snap. We started on the frame pretty hard then stopped for 6 months and it got pretty rusty.

Picked up the frame from Marcos place. He coped it for 3 bills w the entire front suspension intact.

Sitting in front of my "shop" lol

Got it in and started the stripping of the front suspension

Marcos getting dirty

Is this a hopper frame or just building a strong street ride?

Vic gettin a piece

As you can tell we didnt even clean the shop before we put it. We pretty much took one frame out and put the other in. Heres the other frame coming out.

Street hopper

This is the part where we take a big leap into the process twak: myself) This is maybe 2 weeks later.

Plating of the rear

 

[94Fleetwoodswangin]

Rear capped and welded

 

[94Fleetwoodswangin]

Center section: Had a these plates broke (press brake) for a one piece clean look

Also seen this hinge idea used a while back.

 

[94Fleetwoodswangin]

Used an angle on the opposite side also for that clean look

 

[94Fleetwoodswangin]

Made a simple 4 link setup.

Body mount access holes

nice work homie,also thanks for the info the other day keep up the great work just keep them on the bumper.................................. :thumbsup:

Have to give Marcos (owner of car) mad props homie helped me the whole way through. He did alot of the sucky labor lol grinding, templetes, drilling holes, hold here hold there type shit but he made the process go alot smoother.

 

[94Fleetwoodswangin]

bottom side complete

Top side humps

along the side

Front spring perch was a bitch but we go through it (lincoln frames suck!)

 

[94Fleetwoodswangin]

Top side capped off. We did gusset style ears on this one the old style have a tendency to slide.

All done. Sitting outside ready to be taken to the sand blaster then straight to the powder coater :biggrin:

damn Rene, never seen the hinge idea before. just weld it flush, cut it off, lay the plate, and grind it back down til the hinge is flush again, great idea!
