Took the sawzall challenge

[mechanicalman]

Finally got up the courage to cut the LWB frame down, have a SWB frame in reserve so nothing to lose.

Moved the suspension cross-member ahead 12" using a 12" standard strap and using the strap on the underside of the frame for a drill guide on the lower holes, then drilling the upper holes with the member in place using it as a guide.

Pictured below are two 12" standards and one 24" standard, the long bit needed and a nifty 3/8" guided center punch made on a lathe. The extra 12" standard and the 24" standard were used to shorten the frame.
