Actually Workmaster, The threaded spreader rods were only there to hold it square while welding. Once you're done welding, take them out. I was surprised at how stiff it was. With the running boards bolted up, and the splash apron it's pretty solid. The back of the stock fender still flops a little and this is where I will have to figure out a brace. BTW, I used 16 ga sheet for this project.
