Re: Project Goldilocks, '66 C10 SWB BBW Build
There were raw corners left from cutting back the spring cup area, so I rounded them and welded the two layers together, then smoothed up the edges.
Since the crossmember is moved up the top two mounting points were just above the frame rail. I slightly recessed and welded in 1/2" threaded bosses, made rounded covers to hide them, then welded them in and blended the welds.
Since this mostly finishes up the front (besides shock, sway bar, and engine mounts) I went ahead and shot a coat of semi gloss rattle can to get it all one color and keep the bare areas from rusting.
