Yeah, Scooter and Sniffy love getting out of their nice air conditioned office and getting all dirty in the shop.

To be honest, we weren't really sure where to slice the header panel so that it would stretch out the inch and a half it had to go. We considered one cut per side, but then we figured that three slices per side would make each gap a little smaller, requiring less filling. It seems to have worked, we got very little distortion and what we did get can be bodyworked out once we weld the top part of the post to the bottom part.

The thing that you just have to keep in mind is that it is only steel, and with enough patience and work you can move it around any way you want. But I can't say we didn't have some moments when we wondered if it would meet up the way it should. That is why we HAD to cut an try it last night, to put our minds to rest that we hadn't gotten in over our heads.
