9/22/13 - Day 39
The wall were mainly tack welded so over the last week, everything got fully welded then all surface welds had to be ground smooth. In the meantime, we had to cover it with a tarp. What a pain! The box will be almost 26 ft long.
For leveling jacks, we went with HWH system designed for a Ford chassis. We only had to modify the rear crossbrace as it was too long. 9000 lbs jacks up front, 6000lbs in the rear. Our frame is taller then the Ford so the jacks are 5 inches off the ground further then designed but nothing a 4 x 4 pad won't fix if the ground is very bad. This thing will mainly be at drag strips which are about as flat as you can get!
