UPDATE!!

☆ ------------------ ☆ ------------------ ☆


You can see the final DOM versions of the new outer strut supports. They are made of 1.5”x.120” DOM tube.




Next up was to make a wrap around type inner support, which is braced in numerous locations. You can see two of the three braces in this photo, the third brace for each side will be made later on for a specific reason.




Since the OEM upper frame rail was cut off at the firewall I decided to box it up with a ⅛” plate and add another brace to tie into the original structure. Just a close up of the 65 degree notch and the compound angle miter with no gaps on either end.


Trying to get as comfortable as possible.












So proud of these beads although I still have much to learn!






After some precise measurements and angle readings I went ahead and cut off the ugly factory rails. I will be replacing them with 2” x 4” x 3/16” steel rectangular tubing. Stay tuned this week for how I splice them into the remaining factory rails.
