SHOP UPDATE: Todd's 42 Ford

 So we needed to strengthen the frame between the kick-ups.
 Thought a safety loop for the driveshaft would be cool and add the support we were looking for.
 Here is Susi grinding the ends of the tubing to fit.
 I tacked in the fish plate over the weld seam before tacking in the upper tubes
 Here is the finished product. We still have to make the link that closes the bottom of the loop. It has to be removable so you can get the drive shaft out for service.
 We also mocked up the engine and a temp. transmission. The motor mounts are  tack welded in place. Next will be the X member in the frame and the transmission mount. We are waiting for the correct transmission and we will get it finished up.

Just buggin my beautiful wife.
