Re: Ol' Blue

Raven, I've been thinking about a support bar up front as you suggest. I think I'll be doing that.

The boxing plate was ground down to where the top was about 1/8 below the frame rail. I welded it there and then ground it over to a smooth corner. The bottom sat on top of the lower part of the frame rail. I welded it to that lip as the instructions said.
