At least my double steering box brace kept my frame from collapsing even more. Proud of my brace!!!!

Found a frame locally for $100. Gunna check it out this weekend. This time im going to box it and run a ton of bracing before it gets a body

So what happened?

Not exactly sure. I was entering the street from a parking lot and gave it some gas and it kept accelerating. It fishtailed and I over corrected and the posi caught and launched me into a parked truck. Haveny had the heart to see why how the electric throttle decided the truck should commit suicide yet.

Got the wifes car rebuilt and out of the garage. Pulled the new frame in and started cutting the lwb down to be a swb frame. Need to get some rectangle tubing to start bracing.
