Shit got real today! There's no turning back now....



Notches tacked in and bridge is bolted up.



Got to start working the frame rails inward and get the transition pieces welded in and boxed. This is gonna take a while.

Dude, you cut it way to short! It is measure twice, cut once!

This bitch is going to drag the ground.
That's some insane work Jarrod.

This just keeps getting better.

Alright, I got one side roughed in and tacked in place. Moved the frame rail over a little by pie cutting the upper and lower flange of the rail, then gently pushing the rail into alignment with the notches. Inserted the transition piece and tacked it in, then cut the excess frame rail at the rear of the notch.

I just couldn't live with this much misalignment.



The outcome..





That's all for a few days, I have to work Thursday and Friday.m

More awe inspiring work there Jarrod!

 

[Bigredmariner]

This is how I stretch my legs after driving 7 hours home after work.

 

[PenguinLTZ]

Awesome!

Jarrod, I found you a new welder I bought one of my guys the new Lincoln 210 that will even TIG with only shop air.

The toys are getting cooler for these younguns

taking it all back apart for paint is going to be fun.

 

[Bigredmariner]

Got an order of AN fittings in, now I can continue running the air lines.



Started working the passenger side frame rail into place.


Pie cut the upper and lower flanges.



Rail moved over and the transition piece clamped in.





Hours of welding ahead of me.







Starting to look like a frame again.



Got the boxing plate on and began welding it up.
