Re: ClusterTruck; because that’s what it is

Here's a lesson for the other side.
If the dogleg area is solid, and the reinforcement tab is ok, just drill out the spot welds and remove the tab first.
It will all sandwich in there when you're going back together.
The 3 spot welds will come loose anyway when you go to hammer it back to get it out of the way.
Then you have to re-form the spot weld area and re-weld it back in anyway.
And it really gets in the way when you are slipping the inner rocker in/out 400 times to get the weld gap right and make it match up to the pre-cut measurements.
