    Well the rails are z'd and swept now. QUESTION= should I get the frame all mocked up and then do the channel ? Or should I just channel it with out the frame being ready. Not real sure on this part?

    Haha I know I miss it sometimes. I hope the coupe will fill the void! Just worried if I channel it won't be deep enough. But it sure would be easier !!

    Haha thanks for the help!
     
  24. Hey man, that frame is looking really good, could you do us a favor, please hit the space bar on your key pad between picture post so the pictures are stacked on top of each other, that way the will be easier to see without having to scan sideways on the sreen, keep up the good work, looking great
