There’s been a some progress in the last few weeks, but none of it has been really picture-worthy until now. Besides a new side project (which I’m very excited about and on which I’ll post here in the coming week or so), I’ve been gradually forming and welding the frame segments together, and this past week I figured out a good torch technique to make the outside-corner TIG welds consistent and attractive, with good penetration and very little warping. Minus a few inches on the ends to make splicing with the stock frame easier, the new frame segments are now fully welded into a very solid box channel and are ready to install into the frame.
