Then I cleaned up my boxing plates and the frame some more and started weldong them in. I try to weld a little and then go away so I don't get the frame too hot. It's hard to do that when you're trying to get something done.


Tomorrow hopefully I can get the LH rail done this far back and then I can start on the new X member. I'm trying to decide if I want to C notch the frame or not right now. I'm thinking I might as well so it's done. We shall see.
Hey Ryan, are you welding nuts inside the frame rails for your running boards, body bolts etc before boxing the frame? Did you buy prefab boxing plates or make them yourself? Keep up the good work, man!
