Much faster than a grinder, and it fits in the C-Channel

I ended up painting it with some 2 part epoxy primer. I'm going to have to grind some of it back off when I go to weld my braces and stuff. When I'm done welding I'll touch up those areas with more primer and then I'll paint the whole thing, this way it won't flash rust while I finish what I'm doing, and I only have to move it out here once.

It fits, and on the first try! I'll cut the spot welds and put it in one piece at a time when its ready to go in.

Just making sure everything fits. I couldn't get my welder to the back of the frame so I had to tack this together on the bench.

It was getting late and I try to be a considerate neighbor so I just started to cut out the brackets for the rear shock mount bracing.

I just wanted to show how rough these start out, I'm getting better at fabricating but I still start with parts that look like they were chewed by a beaver.

The general design of the rear brace, obviously there needs to be a bracket where my hand is to mount the bars to.

After a fairly painless process of using a disc and belt sander, a band saw, a step bit, and a file, I've got one bracket looking much nicer and it fits great.

This is my first time working with tubing, I went with 1.25" .125 wall DOM for this brace. I'm just glad I gave myself an extra inch and I didn't mess up the taper cuts to match up to the brackets.

This is the start to a bracket that will be welded to the frame for the diagonal tubes to bolt onto.

Everything just taped in place so far, decided to spend the rest of my Sunday night relaxing and I'll get to the rest of this later.

getting these things lined up, metalgeek.com is so cool, got the notches made really easily with the templates.
