Renegade, You da man! Lol! Fun times. Fat Mike, the frame was carefully measured (Renegade is very meticulous with measurements), cut and narrowed to it's final position and box steel welded into the offset. We then welded a smaller tube under the connection for reinforcement, all before the entire frame was boxed. It turned out straight as an arrow thanks to some well place floor markings. Helps if the floor your working on is fairly level as Renegades' is. He made sure. Lol! Thanks guys! Oh yeah, The running board mounts are flanged just like the originals. The white behind them is gortex stuck to the frame to help with heat dissipation. We welded nuts into the frame before we boxed it (5/16"). Thanks again!
