Re: 91 Galant VR4
Yes this is a frame to hold the fenders, hood, front bumper cover, grill, and lights onto the chassis. The chrome moly round tube is the main frame that the suspension, engine, tranny, water to air heat exchanger, and radiator will be mounted. I wanted the square stock to use the flat surfaces to make it easier to mount things and the joints are easier to lay out, just cut and weld no notching needed. I decided to re-do the lower mounts for strength, I did not think the small thin gauge tube would hold up at 160+mph. I bought about 20lbs of aluminum to make all this, and it looks like I will use about 15lbs or so.
