Sum_Fing_Wong's Project Levin

[Sum_fing_wong]

Thanks ^ Martynas it's taken a while to get to this point !

carrying on with the project ! after getting to the point where i had finished welding up all the body seams. i started to spot welded the the bottom of the chassis, which was nice since the car was never under coated and after that I started making the cardboard templates, so i could start making the reinforcement plates for the chassis. The plans for this chassis was to strengthen it because when i was running 8 and 6 spring rates in the unmodified chassis it started showing its weakness, it started creaking and at the windows it was starting to leak water. The only thing that i'm somewhat worried about is over doing the reinforcements, as a chassis with a little flex is more forgiving for if or when i screw up driving it, especially in rainy/slippery conditions. but i'm hoping that with a combination of stitch welding and spot welding in strategic areas that it won't be, i guess i'll know when i get it back on the road.

anyways picture time !



^ i didn't like the way this turned out, so i cut it out and remade it.

ahh that's more like it !!! below you can see the frame rail to firewall reinforcement, and beside it a template for the shock tower reinforcement.
