I'm psyched! Cut the frame down yesterday...

And today welded it back up. Made some reinforcement plates from the 12" sections I cut out.

Took 8" off the back and 12" out of the middle. V-cut the butt joints and MIG welded front and back of the frame. Ground it down flush so that I can bolt in the L-reinforcements in with the flange on the bottom on the tension side.
