Nice day today so, I worked on Tacking together my frame.
took about 2 hrs in prep time clamping ,leveling, making sure rails were square.
This was the hard part because my Frame is not a rectangle, the front is smaller then the back. I had to match the angles at the weld points.Looks like it worked
out OK.

Beware,when welding the front brace up,put a temp brace between the front of the frame.Mine wanted to bend in when I welded it

Hi Brian..If you measure the diagonals then hold the frame in place with tie down straps i found this also works when welding..Cheers Brian S..
