Hey Guys; Well For the most part the frame is done, that is like one of the last cross members. I actually built the frame in three separate sections,
Front ,middle and rear.
Everything was placed on a giant steel table and tacked down after being squared up.
Then after all three sections were built they were welded together. The entire frame was only 1/16 of a in. off from
corner to corner front to rear. I’m gonna try cutting the cross member out and see if it straitens back up.
Here’s the weird thing after measuring it again it’s a 1/8in in from the ends. But when I put it in I measured it three times and it was perfect. I actually had to reverse my long clamp poles to push the frame out to get the cross member in. Then this thing ends up shorter how is this possible. Well practice makes perfect right, HE! HE! HE! Better to laugh about it, then cry.
Thanks Guys Kurt
