I made some patterns for each side of my frame and laid them out on the steel to be cut out. I needed 41" in length so the 2' x 5' piece that was given to me was more than adequate for what I needed.

The Jeepster frame is already boxed in all the way back to the rear spring hangers then it is open to the rear of the vehicle. Boxing the rear of the frame will add some strength to the frame. Since I will be installing a shorter rear spring I will need to build a spring support that will be welded further forward where the frame is not boxed. This modification will give me the strength needed to support the new spring hanger.
