Rear frame redone



Here is the rear frame with the fenders cut away. There is a lot of extra steel here that can be eliminated or simplified.



Once it was all cut away I figured out how the simplest way to attach the shocks and the Panhard bar.

There is a framework that the rear suspension bolts to and it's welded to a thick steel plate from the original MGB frame. I discovered that this plate is not actually very strong and the whole rear of the car is basically held together with only the tubes going from the roll hoop down to the frame. I will definitely correct this.




The new rear frame, narrowed and simplified.
