Re: 72 k20 project

got a little more done to the frame today

where my grandfather had welded in the gooseneck ball hitch plate there was a lot of rust between the frame and the plate and alot of pitting on the top of the frame. in places the original 3/16 material was only 1/16 thick. i didnt like it and decided to repair it before i boxed it in.

before





i marked out the areas that i wanted to cut and drilled a hole in the corner so as to leave no sharp corner.



i guess i forgot pictures of the cuts before i repaired

so here are the after shots









i also got most of the weld finishing done on the drivers rail where i boxed it. there was a lot of grinding dust on the floor today.
