I've got the lca triangulated and a bag in there!
Id say that's plant of bag mount clearance :)
Welded up the bag mount
Moved the uca mount inwards
Got the uca mount finished up I love the plasma cutter!
Test fitted a 20 Got plenty clearance
Lf bag mount gussets :)
Upper mount moved in
Braced off
Here's your horizontal Gusset :)

got the passenger side done. all mocked up ready to hit the floor and dam if the rails tried to buckle inward. i was going to finish the engine xmember after i put it on the car lift BUT looks like im going to have to pull the motor and temp brace it before i do that so i can move it/cycle the suspension.
my view from about 1 foot below the new roof
Got it moved to the car lift so I can work the crossmember.
Started bracing the engine crossmember with shark plates.
Not a bad fit for freehand plasma :)
Got the front pieces cut out but sadly no pics, game was called due to rain(for those not up to speed with the class the shop is getting a new roof)
now the class is up to date. if it will quit raining after work, i can make some dam progress!

yea the dirt dobbers infested the shop. they are all pretty much gone now since it has a new roof :) those are MMW arms.
Fabed up the radius ARM delete crossmember using my old SD crossmember for a reference. Used the 2 existing holes and added the 3rd. That's 1 in 1/8 wall tube so it should be plenty strong for a non load carrying crossmember.
Clears the ground by about 1/4 in.
And a good side shot
