What part of so Cal do you live? I raced my 1996 Bronco in the 1450 class last year in the M.O.R.E. ORAF 500. Maybe I'll be seeing you out there. Do you plan on racing M.O.R.E.?

I'm a little concerned about your c-notch in your frame as well. When building a race vehicle "over kill" is just about right.BLACKMARKETBRYAN wrote:What are your plans for strengthing that area of the frame you notched out ?

im not done with the notch. thats getting plated with 1/4" and boxed in. just ran out of time and wanted to post up some pics. im workin out in oklahoma so i cant finish her up for another month. gotta plate the notch, bleed the brakes, mount the belts, put oil in the bypasses and mount em, bungi the limit straps, put a strap under the drive line, weld up and install the new exhaust and finish up some welding. should be about a weeks work, when i get home, and ill get to do te first test drive. thanks for the advice, i appreciate it
