Re: Backyard Cummins
Made some progress this weekend. I realized it was a bad idea to try to cut 3/16 crosssmembers with an angle grinder, so i picked up a chop saw. It was a good investment.
I tackled the engine xmember first. Ended up cutting a 45* angle on the driver side, and about a 55* angle on the passenger(because the engine is closer to this rail). I left the pieces a few inches long, braced them in place, and then marked the point which i would do my lower cut using a 3rd piece of steel. You have to cut the lower joints at exactly half of the angle of the upper cut to make the lower piece level. Drivers side had cuts of 22.5* at the lower joint, passenger 27.5*.
