Frame Beautification

Post date: Jul 10, 2013 6:57:56 PM

It seems like progress is ridiculously slow, but there have been quite a few things done. Here's the big point:

One frame, reinforced and painted!

The biggest change was putting in the frame reinforcement kit from HPI customs. It was more work than I expected, but went pretty easily.

I got a guy in Garland to blast the frame and two core supports. The frame was solid - no notable damage - except the rear mount location for the left front lower control arm was about to fall off.

Shaun and I added gussets to every suspension point. I need to get some more pictures....

The Stage 2 kit from SC&C also came in, except the rear control arms and sway bars are still on back order.

There are many boxes of parts waiting to get bolted onto this thing. Due to scheduling the chassis probably won't get assembled until early August.
