    there a level 3 on craigslist with a 304 in it its a roller motor n trans is there hewants 400 for it...I'm pretty tempted cause iv read a lot of good things about them frames. Id like to build two jeeps...a daily driver with at n small lift. Then a mud machine fully built. Any ways jeeps stripped and now I just gota lift body off.

      That would be a steal for the frame. I rented a magnetic base drill press to drill the big holes in the front of the frame for the winch. All of the stupid problems that you run into with the Matkins frame can be worked out. It just took me a day or two to solve the problems.

      I should be off for the winter so I should be around if you need any suggestions just drop me an e mail. you may also want to re weld the shock mounts on it too. I need to make new rear ones for mine now. already made the front years ago.
