    It really sucked I dont plan on doing it again..looking back I should have just done a full frame for this car but it has definitely held up great I beat on it every time I drive it and even sometimes when I dont drive it

    Sorry, got a small question. Are you doing mig with gas or flux core? Do you weld different depending on the area or part or what you are able to afford or what's easier? Again, thanks for the awesome video.

    I use gas 75/25 mixture with .035 solid wire as far as welding differently yeah it all depends on what I'm doing most the time I so cursive e's sometimes I whip it back and forth sometimes I just run a straight bead just depends on what I'm doing

    Usually it's done when building a hopper you cut the center crossmember of the frame along the top and the front and rear and stretch it open then add a plate of steel in the opening it changes the geometry of the springs and cylinders also makes the bottome of the crossmember a little higher to help from bottoming out
