what are you using for a floor richie? cause if you used diamond plate you could get rid of the 2nd and 4th X-member.

ima talk to my old shop teacher, he had someone donate a full 4'x8' sheet of 1/4" diamond plate last year
ill see if i can get it, or buy it
cause i would love diamond plate floor

Update of the day, no progress, LOL
i was going to work on it today, but i got roped in to repairing a trailor, then had to work on the heater.
when i went to start working on it i found i had lost the key to my tool box -_-. after the hour it took to find that i decided to clean the shed up some more.
oh yea, i got a mock up done today for ***** and giggles, and to me, 20" aint high enough for the frame, so its probably going to be around 24-25" like dixie.
the main reason i wish dixie was lower, was cause of how much it liked to wheelie, and cause the front end floats. with mini deuce, the wheel base will be long enough that i dont think it will pop a wheelie, or float

don't THINK? lol

in other news, my day went from bad to *****. i had the money to order the stickers, and buy a little bit of steel for mini deuce. got everything loaded and ready to head home......and truck wont crank.....bad battery    so i went to autohell, whoops i mean autozone, and spent all the freakin money on a new freakin battery.
but im going to get part of the bed built tomorrow, ive got some angle i can build part of it from.
and while i was in autozone, i saw this nice little car battery with 680 cold crankin amps for only 64 bucks.....so i might run one of those in mini deuce

ima work on the bed frame and the bumper tomorrow, and i know yall are thinking " why aint he working on the lift or something"
its simple really, i can build the bumper and the bedframe out of some angle i have laying around and scrap from the sheet of steel i used for the bottom of the bed, i need to buy steel before i start the lift,

couldn't sleep, so i started on this, what yall think? maybe a front bumper?

was workin on the bumper and my weldin helmet shat the bucket guys, so it will be a little bit till updates

OH, that sucks man I'm keen to see the deuce take shape.
