Ugh. Irritating night last night...
So I got the frame all welded up. Seems to have shrunk about 1/4'' in length...Just enough for the bolts to not line up completely. Got a handful of bolts in and one went in a bit crooked and the nutsert started spinning. Not sure if I trust them to not come loose. Now I need to cut it off and grind it out.
I am going to notch the bolt holes in the frame so I have some lateral movement to adjust it back and forth. I am trying to think of some different ways to mount it to the bedsides though. I want something a bit more robust. Any thoughts?
