I would be lying if I said I was enjoying this part. Taking a pigs ear and making, well something out of it is a challenge. I am splicing a bit over two feet into the middle. The square tubing bridged on top and the channel that the springs bolted to underneath it. I once had a frame made of 4"x4" channel that I used to build a car frame on once but someone looking for scrap decided they could use the money more than I needed it. Probably right but it would really come in handy here. So, working with what I got, I have some straight 2"x6"s that are getting me in the ballpark jigging the pieces up. I have some aluminum channel that is 10' long and they will help me line the stuff up. Hopefully get it welded up tomorrow and then clean it up for paint.
