Gussets upon gussets and holes within holes
Crossmember was getting too heavy, so I added more holes. Guess what, I've got a fever, and the only prescription is more ________!
Boxing off the bottom for increased rigidity and durability (i.e., keep the holes from falling out). This fine steel specimen is from Dave's Aerospace Materials, LLC.
Some more holes for increased strength and lightness. The steel is there to hold the holes in place.
Some holes with a TIG weave. Got a few pieces without holes to put back here too. If this thing gets any lighter it's going to blow away. :homer:
Ahh, Feng Shui!
Made some progress on the bottom plate.
Will be cutting some slots in it for the tabs underneath to fit through. Almost finished marking it up for that earlier. Still, it needs something, but I can't quite put my finger on it...holes = cowbell

David, you are funny, your front crossmember is built to hang a rockwell with 50's from and the rear is a bunch a holes that will die with 37's.
I like some of that engineering
. Wouldn't hurt to spend some of that welding and bracing in the rear where it's needed a lot more than the front

Good lawd, Art, we've been over this rather exhaustively. I'ma gonna get back to that rear crossmember when I'm damnwellgoodandready, and by the time I'm done with it, there won't be any worries. Until then, we'll have to make do poking fun at my swiss cheese front 3-link. :cactus::cactus:holes = cowbell
