Thanks, Jason. Of all days, no post yesterday. Got roped into moving furniture for my nephew ...which I'm paying for today.

I've been doing some grinding and decided it would be easier to remount the bedside. Plus I needed to get the square tubing and angle iron off the bed rail so I could weld the last little bit on the corner. I tapped a small copper wedge into the gap to help keep it from drawing when welding. Then after the weld cooled, I removed the wedge and re-clamped a piece of square tube in behind the last of the gap with a thin strip of copper sandwiched in so I wouldn't end up with the tubing welded to the bed rail. Now all that's left is to knock down the rest of the welds and shrink/dolly the whoop-dee-doo's. Then it will be on to the fuel door.
