Got my crossmember in!!!

It's all tac'ed in waiting to be fully welded. I had to test if the back plate would bolt in first. Next week I should be able to install the rocker box after this. What do you guys think? I know I could of got in more time but I wasted my morning watching Soccer (Mexico vs Brazil). Mexico won!

Looks good, Alexis. When you do the final welding show some more pics please. I'm just learning to weld, right now using wire feed but i have the option of adding a bottle later. What are you using? I can get a decent spot weld but can't seem to get decent seam weld. I always have pin holes. I've been welding up some extra holes in the bed that the PO drilled. If your using wire feed, give some details on wire speed setting, heat setting etc. Thanks

Get the bottle, I'll post pic later today with and without the bottle. Having the bottle makes it seem like your a pro at welding.
