How long did it take you do design/fabricate the rearend housing and crossmember?
It took two weeks to design and fabricate, as well as research and contact companies that would aid in my process.
For the tops of the framerails, how much work was it to cut the strips, bang them in place, and weld everything together?
It seems hard, but that was probably one of the easier parts. We used 1/8 x 2-inch cold roll strap. All four corners were completed in one day.
Is the rear crossmember (behind the 9-inch housing) strictly for support, or does it serve another function?
The rear crossmember acts as support for the rear differential, internally there is a sway bar.
Holes cut out in the front and rear frame cross members, are those for style only? Your signature type of deal?
It just gives it a sleek racy feel to a clean molded frame.
Overall, from design to fabricating the frame/A-arms/rearend (not including assembly), how long did that take?
A total of about 11 weeks.
