Got the frame clean, and time to get the bed mounts figured out. But to do that, we had to get the axle mocked into place to make sure it fit the fender wells correctly. Then Chris had me call Kevin and ask him why the hell there were bolts welded to the bottom of the frame..........for a purpose other than hurting him. LOL Kevin thought I was a telemarketer and almost hung up on me. Then he realized it was me and said it was for the hydrolics on the towing bed. So Chris dispatched the bolts with the plasma torch.

Here, after all the grinding and wiggling, and cussing, I think we nailed the bed mounting and axle placement. This is sex on wheels for me!!!!!!!!!

Next time to start fabing the rigid chassis part. This requires serious thought, math, and focus. You can see our different areas of expertise.....LOL
