Attempt/Mistake #2

[El Campo]

While I was in there I welded around the perimeter of the front crossmember. Have always had a problem of rust creeping out from between the two pancaked pieces. That is what the weld is around the crossmember. Also finished boxing in front of the crossmember. I drilled holes so that will be able to access the bolts for the steering gear and idler arm. Still need to drill one more hole for the AN fuel line to come out of which is tentatively immediately behind the two holes on the passenger frame rail. I removed the cutout in the passenger side of frame (for the oil filter on I6 trucks I believe) since I had no use for it and the engine fits good without it. That was a PITA because could not get it to bend the way I wanted and had to make multiple relief cuts and weld in low areas etc. I love my Miller 252
