summer is here, plant a tree. if you don't have space or time to plant one sponsor some one else to plant one for you. a tree is an investment in our planet, help it out.

I use a mig welder but the one i use is just a cheap one i am hoping to buy a milller mig and tig this winter im only 17 so im hoping with some more practice and better equipment that i can improve on my projects. It is a rigid front end and yes thats good for drag racing because with shocks on the front and back it soaks up power going down the track. I dont have a full picture of that one i built it for a buddy of mine but here is a pic of one of mine the other pics wont work but ill take new pics so they will work.

there isnt really any plans for them most people just make there own i guess....i designed it all and did it myself....i have seen pictures of frame jigs to build the actual frame and i just made my own similar to theres...for like the brake pedal i just made it myself without a jig just from others i had seen.
