Not much to show today, welding up and grinding smooth all the various extra holes in the chassis was pretty time consuming, and the weather wasn't in my favor.

The major highlight is the rear spring hangar damage is now patched:
Driver

Passenger

And driver's rear hangar, fully drilled and in final position (I will remove, clean/paint, and then reinstall with grade 8 frame bolts).

I still have to trim the hangars (obvious in the photo above), and I have more holes to drill. I welded up probably 25 holes I didn't need or were in my way, plus patching the frame, today.
