      The truck looks great. Viper wheels are a nice touch. Keep up the good work!

      So I ran into my first snag.....About a year and a half ago when I was designing my spindles, I found all the dimensions on line for the Wilwood Pro spindles. So I used that geometry to make mine, perfect, Right!. Well the problem is I used the Wilwood 2" drop spindle figuring I would need all the drop I could get, WRONG! The truck is actually Too Low! The combination of the crossmember location, and the shape of the chassis, makes the center of the chassis 3" off the ground.... The front section is fine at 5", but 3" is not enough clearance for New England roads. So there are a couple ways I could fix this, I could notch the chassis where the crossmember mounts, but this would weaken the frame, with 500+HP on tap, really not an option. I could modify my existing spindles to gain about 1", but still not enough. The right way to fix this is to design new 2" raised spindles (or really "Stock" height). It sucks, but it's the right way to do it. Actually the designing is the easy part, having the parts machined can get expensive, luckily I have a friend that runs a machine shop, and treats me good on price. So, the design is done, and parts are being cut, in the meantime, I'm starting on cleaning up the rear frame rails.

      So, in preparation for the C-notch, I wanted to clean up the frame rails. After removing all the unnecessary brackets, I welded up all the holes, 35 each side! Then boxed the rails so I have something to weld the C-notch to.

      Looks to me like you should rename the notch... Looks more like a g-notch to me, as in the grand canyon notch!!!! That is cool. have never seem one like this for sure. Also hope you are keeping a seperate budget for rear tires, Im guessing about a set per week with that beast. VERY cool. Subscribed. Maybe you should name your project "Hazzy", due to all the tire smoke.

      What vehicle donated that rear axle with the discs?
      Looks like a Ram 1500?
