Been injured all week so slow progress.
Evidently swinging 2 3.5 lb sledge hammers against each other last weekend really stretched the tendons and stuff in my right wrist. That’s the one they rebuilt years back from that car accident. Anyway, sore as hell, so working around it.
Focus on the front dumb irons and I’ve got them trued up and strong enough for the bumper, as well as the sway bar underneath now.
Added the strengthener like used on the rear frame. Great old racking pieces of the perfect thickness.

Stitched in place and the new plasma cutter made short work of the steering rack hole.

Easily cleaned up with the angle flap disk.
Doesn’t need to be pretty, as both the front wing, the rad, and the front valance encapsulate all this, but it did need to be straight on the outside, bottom, and top for those three items to connect too.

Ready to clean prep and paint after a bit more sanding.
Cheers gents.
