    Ran home at lunch and finished up this side. Need to run out and grab some little 2" and 3" disks and knock this weld down and blend it. Then it's on to the other side.

    Thanks! I got a little bit of garage time again today.. Got a quarter cut off, and the new one fit. I need to order some outer wheelhouses, wire brush the surface rust behind the quarter, and get some POR to paint it with. But I did test fit the quarter... going to be MUCH better :)

    Thanks man. It is 1.5" x 3" tube with a 3/16" wall thickness. If I was ordering new steel, I would not have gone this thick, but It's something that I already had, and it fit perfect.

    Man.. A sane person would have scrapped this thing.. Tonight I started cutting out some rusty frame rails. Last foot and a half or so were bad, so I took it all the way back to about the axle centerline. That way I can also tie the new rail into the crossmember that the shocks mount to...
