Re: Project Git-R-Done - 72 K25
Whole lotta welding thursday. Repaired the crossmember by tigging in the patches I made yesterday, I'll drill the missing holes once I mount the crossmember back in the frame.
Repaired the torch work in the back of the frame by opening up the forward of the torched set of holes with a hole saw and cutting a patch with the next size up of hole saw, those were migged in front and back. As well I just cut out the section at the back and migged patches in there as well.
Cut a new patch for the parking brake bracket and will probably weld it up saturday.
I also decided to remove the lower rear crossmember brackets and am not to happy with what the frame looks like in the bottom. most probably I'll cut those sections out and weld in new patches there. I'll have to be careful as this is directly over the leaf mount and is obviously a pretty critical structural area. I'll V groove the edges and weld top and bottom for full penetration.
