Re: Woodfin's SS GT/TB construction series
Some things about the Super 10 frame make it visually different from a door car.
Of course, the frame being completely removable is a huge visual difference. In addition, the frame is wider, beefier than what you generally see with a door car.
Plus in the rear section the rear cab mounts and bed mounts stand well above the frame.
There are always several ways to approach a project and most of the time with proper planning all methods arrive at an acceptable completed project.
For me, with the tools and resources I have, simple is best. Thus, the shiny frame you see here is basically the factory frame with new side rails in the tire area and four link brackets installed properly.
When the bed and bumper go back on it will bolt right down to the original factory brackets.
The central frame section does not require and modification, I will even use the factory transmission crossmember.
The front section, front crossmember, is next to be modified for oil pan clearance.
Next week, rear housing goes back in place, and cab sets back on to begin roll cage install.
