Time to start welding!

Prior to welding the two sections of frame back together I tack welded a 18" long 2"X2" box tubing along the horizontal line that was scribed 3 1/2" down from the top edge of the frame.

This is helpful for two reasons:
1. It keeps the frame on the same horizontal plan
2. It holds the chassis from shifting left to right (Jack knife affect)
