So here's something that has been on the back burner for a NY minute. I've finally found a great welder that can and will do my welding when I need it. With that, I've now been able to get back to my cross member project on a step by step basis in between work. It takes patience, good material and good eyes to make sure it all comes together nicely and strong.
This is 6061 T-6 material. I should have it all capped off, filed and formed by next week or sooner and show you'll a comparison to the stock unit.
