SHOP UPDATE: Sub-rails are finished in John's delivery

 We notched and formed the ends of the cross rails so I could get a little farther under the side rials for support.

 Here are all the rails modified and prepped for installation and welding

 Here we are assembling the new steel rails on the chassis so we can roll the delivery over to the weld shop for welding.

 here is the finished assembly welded and ready for panel installation.

This is why I spent the time on the cross rails. Now the rails extend all the way to the outside of the side rails for maximum strength and support. This is much stronger than the original design which is what we are after.
