Rockers & Floor-
The rocker patch panels are tacked in place and the main cross bar is located. The main bar is the basis of the cage. The main hoop and rest of the cage will be built off of this bar. Note: all bars were tacked in place using a tig welder. Once we have double checked everything we will then complete tig welding.
If you’ll notice, you’ll see the front rocker patches don’t go all the way to the front of the rocker. The headers will be exiting the fender wells there. So, that will be later fabrication.
We scalloped each end of both ladder bar brackets. This will allow the brackets to use horizontal bars for support, rather than just be supported by the weld alone. The main bar was bent down slightly in the center for more clearance, as the drive shaft will be passing over it.
The front frame rails were trimmed to exactly 21 1/2″ off of the front crossmember to ensure equal length. They were then boxed in using 1/8″ steel, leaving a small lip around the perimeter to weld to. This will create the bulkhead that will connect the stock type front suspension to the Chromoly cage.
