Frame Boxing
Got some work done on the frame boxing today. First off i primed and painted the inside of the frame rail to protect from rust. I taped off the edges of the rail so that i could spray those areas with weld thru primer which are the edges that the boxing plate will get welded.
I also made a sort of triangular "tent" out of a piece of angle iron to go over the hole in the top of the frame rail. This is a bolt hole for attaching one of the cross members that mounts the bed. So obviously i need to be able to get the nut on after boxing is complete.
I also made up the boxing plate out of 1/8" thick steel. Next steps are to clean up the rust, prime it, and weld it to the frame rail.
Stay tuned for more,
-Chris
