Steve welded the cross brace in the rear of the rails. There was 2x2 cross pieces tack welded in the front to hold everything square. They will be cout out after the rails are welded in the car. they will be replaced with CM tubing. I believe these three pieces are the only mild steel parts going in the car. Rails and rear cross member. Most of the bars will be custom bent or cut except for the main hoop and all will be Chrome moly. "CM"
I came in the house to watch "Street outlaws" I'll go back out and see how far he got. He is cleaning up the body to install the frame rails as one piece. This is a leaf spring car. Not like a 4-link that is adjustable so it has to be square and level .
I saw some wrecked race cars he repaired . He is a perfectionist at what he does.
