Building rear frame rails. Suggestions on tube?

[brrymnvette]

I'm going to be starting on the rear frame rails soon.....hopefully. My thoughts were kinda this. I can get 2x2x1/8 or 1/4 square tube for cheap. I was thinking of stacking two to make 2x4x1/8th or 1/4

I think it would also make it stronger with the two sides being welded together in the middle.

I can get a 20ft stick of the tubing for like $30-50



I'm going to be making the rear frame rails from the floor, up around the wheel well and straight back.

I kinda thinkn just one 2x2x1/4 tube would be enough b/c the stock frame rail is only 1/8th or 3/16th thick at best.


Thoughts?


An idea of what I was thinking, but I will start lower before it starts to curve up to the top of the wheel wells. I need to move them in maybe 2".
