Looking good, nice work!

Started working on the frame strengthening kit I got from US Cartool. The kit is a good one but could have used some instructions and measurements. I first blasted the areas where the parts would be installed.

Next I painted POR15 under the areas I would not be able to get to once I installed the parts. Then I began welding in the frame connectors.

Front and rear torque boxes.

Front shock tower supports.

Front frame core support.

Full frame strengthening kit installed. There was a lot of welding and filling but I had only a few burn throughs which is good considering the kit is 1/8" thick metal being welded to 22 gauge floor pan material.

There is a lot of half a##ed repairs from the body shop I am going back and fixing. The upper cowl over the passenger side had been crushed in an earlier accident. The frame is fine and measures out correctly but the repair which is hidden by the fender is horrible. Here is what it looked like and what I cut out.

Nasty piece that was mucked up by body shop.

I stitched in two new pieces and ground it down. A little bondo and you won't know it was there.

Ground down and ready for bondo.

Looks like she's coming into shape!
