Started building the frame work for the Enforcer(mtd chassis) .As you can see in the pic , I made a frame for the chassis to sit on . The frame measures 14.5w x 48L .
After welding up frame work , I cut 2-20" long tubes for the rear and tac welded into place after squaring up .Then tac welded the tranny mts in place and added 11.5" cross tube .
The front down tubes I cut to 20" ,measured 10" down and notched to bend inward .Notched to make a 30* bend in each tube and then tac weld into place .After tac welding into place , turned the frame over , placed the 820 trans and hung the front end .
Leveled frame work and placed the front axle beam underneath to determine how to mt front axle .
I had 2 pieces bent up for the axle mount to form a 8x5 tube,welded together and bored the axle center pin .Come to find out ,after I made the axle mount , my down tubes in the front were a little short , I remedied the problem by cutting 2 small tubes with a 30* angle and placed them in between the down tube and axle mount and tac welded together . I which this case worked out better .
Cut and placed the support tubes, after I had everything tac welded into place , proceeded on welding everything solid .
