    I was incorrect. I did need extensions on the front to accommodate Jerry can mounts. They're built, and all 3 are attached to the frame. Some welding left. More than a little grinding, and 10 holes to drill. Then it's off for sandblasting and powdercoating.

    Welding is complete. Grinding is finished. I'm out of town for today and tomorrow, but I should have my holes drilled for my wiring by end of day Sunday.

    This is from before I cleaned it up and redid it. I'll take another pic when I get home, but my welds look better than this now, held up to multiple blows from a 16 # sledge hammer, and my heavy ass walking on them.

    Thought I was going to have some good progress and pics to share tonight, but bad weather busted up my party. My box, rather than being placed in its rightful position, is currently dividing its weight between two trailers! Lol.

    Being a stubborn ass that wants to move forward I was dragging it from one to the other with a tow strap and a come along. A slow process by myself. I got it moved about 3 feet in total when a storm blew in. Only 14" onto its rightful frame.

    I therefore had roughly 600 pounds behind the axle of my utility trailer, and it was hitched to my truck. Thats an awful lot of weight to just let go crashing down, so I took a soaker, supported it all with concrete blocks, and called it a night.

    What he said!
    "Teach the children quietly
    For someday sons and daughters
    Will rise up and fight while we stood still"

    I stayed up all night to see where the sun went. Then it dawned on me.
