mttam510 Posted March 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 decided to weigh the bare chassis (including cage) today. with dolly weighing in at approx 50 lb, i am coming in at 680lbs. I have removed all un-needed tabs and i don't think there is too much more i can remove. with all stitch welding complete, will begin POR 15 of floor this week. w00t!! 1 Quote Link to comment

mttam510 Posted March 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 oh yeah, i forgot to add that you must trim the lip that would normally mount to the chassis....then drop in place. Will definitely post pics of that ocurance in a couple of years :) 1 Quote Link to comment
