I have completed the front stiffeners now and started the passenger side mid ones. I used paint removal pads for a grinder to remove the undercoating. It works great but be ready for a big mess. Not looking forward to the drivers side mid.

Got tired of welding so I started the front end teardown instead.

Made my own axle tube sleeves. 2 inch Dom. Cut about .015 off the outside dia.

Put gussets on the C's.

Really hard to weld in there.

sorry didn't see this. Steel it is a paint that you can weld through and it doesn't make your welds contaminated.

when it was open I actually used a 2 inch inside dia. Piece of pipe then welded it to the inside then boxed the arm and welded it up.
