Re: Backyard Cummins
Another note on the above. A sharpie will fit perfectly inside the cummins engine mount(where the bolt goes through). This will allow you to make a small dot on your mounting tabs, where you will need to drill your hole. This helped tremendously, as i was literally creating them in place.
Below I start to create my boxing plates 1/4" plate, along with removable plates which will eventually be the crossmember. Nuts are welded to the back of the boxing plate. I actually never plan on removing this crossmember, but i figured it will give me at least 1 option if anything ever comes up.
One more thing, You dont realize how many bends are in the chevy frame, this makes fitting a flat boxing plate fairly ugly. I will end up shaving off the little portions of the frame that stick out from under the plates.
This work occurred in early March, almost caught up..
