I spent the rest of the weekend welding in the remaining holes in the frame and grinding everything smooth. They sure do put a lot of holes in these frames! I also found another rivet that I previously missed. I sometimes wonder if I'll ever get rid of all of them!

The remaining rivets and crossmembers will come out and get filled in after I install the front IFS, box the frame and install the x-member/trans mount. I don't want to remove too much of the frame until they are in.

I didn't do anything with the frame indentations above the rear axle bumper mounts as I think I may end up installing a c-notch into the frame which means I will end up cutting this area out anyway. I want to see where the clearance between the axle and frame ends up first. Should I fabricate my own c-notches or buy one of the kits? Opinions appreciated!
