My 15 minutes in the shop was more like 3 hours, but I’m moving ahead. My tubular stiffenizer arrived in 6 pieces, so I laid it out on the floor, made sure it was square and tacked it together. I finished all the welds with it placed on my frame to get it at a comfortable height. It is now placed about where it’s going to live within eyeball tolerances. My string line has vaporized, so I’ll pick up another coil of string tomorrow and place it where it really wants live before marking the tubes to fit between my frame rails.
