For the record I hate miter cuts and math. Odd I know because I’m building a car and it’s all math. I got a new saw (http://www.evolutionpowertools.com/u...aws/evosaw380/) and wanted to try it out. This is not how I wanted it to go. It must have taken a good 15 Cut’s before the three cuts ended up correct. Oh well inside frame rails coming soon.

Got a Sunday funday in the garage this past weekend. Spend some time getting the inner frame rails mocked up and tacked into place. Lots of hand fitting the pieces and still not super stoked on the fitment.
Learned again that old cars are so far out of square it’s scary. I’m looking at things and stressing out big time. The measurements are pretty damn close. I think .05 degrees is close enough.
They are only tacked because I’m going to add a Transmission and Torque Arm crossmember. I’m going to sleeve the bolts for the Transmission crossmember so it will all come apart at one time.
My understanding is that you try and build something as light as possible, I seam to be adding a lot of metal to the car. It maybe necessary stuff but it’s going to tip the scales on the heavy side for sure.
