Using this logic I figured there is no better way to reinforce a frame than to weld a weight bench to it. So that’s exactly what I did. ![http://lh3.ggpht.com/_7gP8To3oCCU/SbcMmCFP1vI/AAAAAAAAA7g/4ssCY2BgO5g/s800/DSC02201.JPG](http://lh3.ggpht.com/_7gP8To3oCCU/SbcMmCFP1vI/AAAAAAAAA7g/4ssCY2BgO5g/s800/DSC02201.JPG) ![http://lh5.ggpht.com/_7gP8To3oCCU/SbcMl6Nuj-I/AAAAAAAAA7Y/Ub-Uj1y3k-0/s800/DSC02200.JPG](http://lh5.ggpht.com/_7gP8To3oCCU/SbcMl6Nuj-I/AAAAAAAAA7Y/Ub-Uj1y3k-0/s800/DSC02200.JPG) ![http://lh4.ggpht.com/_7gP8To3oCCU/SbcMIztlozI/AAAAAAAAA7M/4jA_9eRdjqY/s800/DSC02199.JPG](http://lh4.ggpht.com/_7gP8To3oCCU/SbcMIztlozI/AAAAAAAAA7M/4jA_9eRdjqY/s800/DSC02199.JPG) ![http://lh5.ggpht.com/_7gP8To3oCCU/SbcMIQrYENI/AAAAAAAAA7E/XFgG2C-KiiU/s800/DSC02198.JPG](http://lh5.ggpht.com/_7gP8To3oCCU/SbcMIQrYENI/AAAAAAAAA7E/XFgG2C-KiiU/s800/DSC02198.JPG) Now that the reinforcements are done I got the gas tank back in and started on the suspension. I have no pics of this. 🤣rofl ---

Serious props on all the work… Putting in WORK! I would probably scream and go hide in bed having to face rust / welding / bodywork / real work on a “project”. I’ll be watching this to see the full pimpness later on. Good job too on the custom “front support”- not everyone can say they have parts on their car… from Sports Authority. That a Weider bench!?
