Rear Frame Fabrication

[thomas45]

<h1 style="margin-top: 3pt;">Hi guys I’m working on a 67' ChevII and I’m doing a custom 3 link on it. Im replacing the frame rails and adding a cross member to mount the links to. Now I have the x member and the frame rails tacked in. I was looking at the whole deal and it looks like I can drop the whole pig out. My question is: now that I have the rear rails and x member tacked and measured out for the car, can I remove the whole unit and complete it out of the car? Or should I just weld it up in the car? Some of the parts I need to get to and weld are very hard to reach, this would make it alot easier as you can imagin. Request assistance please</h1>

I would run some solid welds first, as you can imagine there is potential for alot of movement once the welding begins, tack welds have a habit of breaking or allowing movement.

ps. is the body off the chassis? is that what you mean by "remove the whole unit" ?
