We are coming along OK. We have been trying to weld in the front IFS cross member and have had issues getting a good weld. It looks real contaminated, like molten. In fact, the weld has a slag on top of it like you would get when stick welding. Have tried TIG and MIG. We ground the frame and cross member well before starting but it did not seem to help. Need to figure out the problem. Did you have any luck with getting a good weld on your IFS to the frame?
