Oh it is indeed important, in that it takes away a lot of floor space..
However the legs and the rails are bolted togheter, so that I can dismantle and put it out of the way
Unfortunately my bender didn't came out as nicely..
I'll post some pictures soon...

Shouldn't the axle plate locating pins be removable so you can get the frame off the jig after it's welded?

He might have tapped the ends......but unless he has multible rear axle fixtures, all the frames will have the same width tire...I see multi holes on the frame rail fixture ! Just trying to give the newb's something to think about....

on top of that depending on what type of axle setup he uses I.E.: open rear axle slot on the plate

The truth is that this is an extremely peculiar, almost unique, disposable dumbass axle plates holder; you can quite easily fabricate one of these if you just start welding random pieces after a good bottle of Brunello di Montalcino..
I posted the picture anyway, because I've not rebuild it yet...
I'll build my first frame and then cut it away...
Very economic, I know...

that is one of the things about fixtures is they have parts that add on and off, nothing is in stone. fixture looks good.
