Hey my friend did the welding for me did an awsome job i think looks stronger than stock. However like you all said i do need a knew frame it is twisted in an S shape that i can't live with. So my next step over the winter is to get a new frame that is powdercoated blue and gusseted. although i am on a tight budget because i have to put a new bottom end in my tri z. this will be an expensive winter. oh well i will post some pictures later in the week to show the repair.
