here in this post i am showing the final steps for the "Z'd" front stub.
1. showing stub with 2x4 tubing welded to it this will add strength
2.2x4 tube added to both sides and fully welded where the frames come together.
3. all pieces welded in.
4. the outer plates added to clean up the look.
5. all welds smoothed out and boxed in.
