[Cuttin up]

Rabid, yep that’s about it. It’s rectangular tube attached across the bottom of the front rails. once I cut the bottom of the original core support I welded a piece of flat steel on the bottom to replace what I chopped off. I set the front end on and measured the distance between once it was close to the hood shutting correctly then made the uprights out of box tube. It may not be the fanciest way to do it but it works.

Joe, thanks man. I’ve followed a bunch of your builds and am always learning something new.
