The BAD AST Project - Faze II

[astroracer]

I didn't get out to the shop as early Sunday as I did Saturday but I still got a lot done. Yesterday afternoon I started cleaning up all of the pieces I will re-use from the old frame and I finished those up today. Grinding off the nasty old welds probably took as long as it would have to make new pieces but I couldn't see not reusing the old ones. I would have spent the time either way so why waste the material...
I did a quick mock-up of the new lower rails and crossmembers to see what the fit-up looks like. The notches came out great and I have some tight fitting joints for welding.

A couple more...

I still have to clean up all of the welding surfaces yet, this is just a look see for fit-up. I will go over all of the joints with a flap wheel on the die grinder to prep for welding...
