Did you take a 2nd frame and mirror it and then weld it in place to box the frame?

looks like another frame was cut apart and then (non-mirrored) swapped to the other side to box the frame...

Thats pretty sweet. If I had a welder, a extra frame to cut up, and a bunch of time, I would think about doing the same thing.

Got it on the first guess.
I trimmed the top and bottoms down to an inch wide, then welded them on. I used a whole 92 foot O2 bottle cutting and quite a bit of wire and C02 welding it up. Good thing I have a 4 day week so i can go to town and get my bottles filled friday.
I'm going to re-enforce the front areas where they crack by the spring hangers, cut off the bump-stop, and then hang the springs and get some axles under it. I'm sure glad it cooled off

Gosh, I just hope you didn't warp or twist the frame rails if you did all that welding while it was sitting in the dirt. :confused:

Please tell us that you welded that while the frame was on a hard flat surface of some kind like cement.:(
