Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3

It finally got nice here so I got back on the donor frame rails. I did the first one last fall and am doing a few things differently on the second one. I used the mag drill to round out the holes a little larger and get a uniform size. Now I only have 4 sizes. I don't have a cutter larger than 1" so a couple will have to be custom made. I'm hoping a better fit will mean less grinding. I TIG these so I don't get the hard MIG weld because there will be cutting, drilling and tapping and I don't want to drill on the harder MIG weld. If I end up half way on a weld it's a hassle. There are 149 holes in each frame rail to weld up. Thank you for your time.
