Woodfin's SS GT/TB construction series

[Dragsinger]

In the photos the factory frame sides are still in place. Once all new frame tubing and crossmembers are in place and final welded the original frame sides will be cut off. This method uses the stock frame as a building jig and is a big help with aligning everything.

It is not obvious in the photos, I have four pieces of "outrigger" tubing welding to the original frame down to the floor. In addition, the front crossmember is blocked at ride height. The truck is level and square and plum on all planes.

Also, the front spring are removed to allowing setting ride height on the construction tables.
