You can do it with a hand plasma or a grinder with a cutting wheel and a drill. Today I have the privilege of having a plasma table at my disposal but it wasn’t always like that for me. I started with a grinder. Saved up and bought a miller xtreme 375 for like 1200 bucks at the time. You’d be surprised how accurate you can cut by hand with a drag tip, a straight edge and some clamps. You got to start somewhere. Learning from the ground up is better than starting with a plasma table.

Trianngulated rear is great. Triangulated 4 link front is not a good idea due to this setup will feel bump steer unless your doing full hydraulic ram steering. For this setup being done with the steering box and drag link (all link steering) it best to do a set up with a panhard or track bar.

And that's not even talking about all the money in tools or labor.

@@davidnorthrup3674 I get it. I wouldn't include tools in a budget though. Most people who do this type of thing enjoy fabricating and tinkering so the cost of tools and equipment gets spread over multiple projects. That pipe bender is nice but I wouldn't buy one just to bend 4 hoops. I'd buy one if I was going to build a custom chassis then also make some stuff for other people (paid work) so that I could recoup at least recoup the expense.

@Sixgunner dot org Try watching Fab Rats. On his channel he builds stuff all the time without doing a frame off restoration. He has a lot of tools, some of which he got and fixed so that they where useful again. Regardless, he makes things work without a huge budget. If these guys' didn't claim to be on a budget, then I would have no problem with them. I still like to watch them from time to time.

@@notsevenfeettall valving has nothing to do with it. It's the steering/suspension geometry. The drag link travels in an arc, while the triangulated axle moves straight up and down. That means either the wheels will turn, or the steering wheel will turn through travel. It can be made minimal with setting the drag link flat (parallel with the ground) at the center of the suspension travel, but it'll still give it some amount of bump steer.
