Picture index 1 The frame

This was the day we picked up the frame from JIM'S Custom V.W. Thats me sitting in the frame.

This is the frame after we took it home. You can see the transaxle and some suspension peices in the back ground.

Here is the frame with the front end instaled. This is just prior to me taking it to school. Thats my dad is sitting in the frame, and thats my friend Jeff standing next to him

This is after I brought it back from school. The shock towers were reinforced, drop seat mounts were welded in, as were steering shaft bushing mounts, pedal cluster and master cylinder mounts, the shifter box and most of the tabs for the floor.

Here I am welding the bottom of a floor tab. Because of the drop mounts for the seats, two sheets of aluminum were used for the floor

This is a good view of the trailing arms, and the pushrod protectors. You can also see the cross shaft which broke on me wile hill climbing

In this shot you can see the drop mounts for ths seats.

Here you can see the front braces, and if you look carefully you can also see the anti-crush bar.

From this angle you can see the drop seat mounts, the anti-crush bar, the gas tank mounts and the oil cooler mounts(there sticking up behind the gas tank.)

This series of pictures are the treebars before and after

Here is the frame during the painting processes. It was first fliped onto its roof so the underside could be painted. It was then fliped right side up so it could be finished.
