Of all the material that I have read about chassis construction - if you have well thought out cross members, your strength is in them and not so much the chassis rail boxing or heavy wall material for the cross members.
With TJ's roadster chassis - we are opting for a traditional flavor that means we will partially box the rails at the engine and rear end areas with the X member going between the two boxed areas.
The rear boxing plates are in - a half day each on these to make from three pieces and finish to look like it is one piece stamped! The start of the X member has began with the main plate being built to resemble a '32 K member.
Next up is to finish this main plate and then build the "X"
