I got alittle time out in the shop yesterday and almost got the new front crossmember installed before I had to call it a day. Getting the crossmember into place was not as easy as I thought it was going to be. I had to cut out the pressed out areas in the frame where the old brake line bulkhead fittings where located. Then after I fit the new crossmember, bolted it in on the bottom, I used a rotary file the line up two holes on each side and the drilled the other three holes on each side. I then made filler plates from 3/16 plate to repair the frame. I got those fit and welded before stopping for the day. Hopefully I will be able to get the front done this week so I can move on the the rear.
