Looks good to me, the frame rail looks bent. Is that just my eyes? or is it done on purpose?

yeah it ended up bowing a bit when i did all that welding to it. i talked to a bunch of welders and they said once i start welding to the top of the frame it will straighten up. it's not bad i could leave it like that and it would not do it any harm. it pissed me off when i first noticed it but i was ensured it would be fine so we will see when it's all done. i'm just glad it did not bow the other way, that would have caused problems for me.

Well i mocked up the diffs and welded it all into place so i can move it in and out while i try to do some stuff to the body. also got the one side all done for the gussets, i know the welding looks alittle ruff but it will hold together.
