Narrow the frame

Once we were happy they were where we wanted Ken did a great job stitching it back together

After removing the rivets the frame is able to be narrowed. We have measured and placed the body on the narrower rails to allow us to start placing the Z and to figure out ride height. Here are the rails brought together and welded to the rear crossmember.

The Bucket body is united with the frame, it's currently still stock width and will need the rivets holding the running board outriggers and the other mounts drilled out. They were installed hot 81 years ago and are pretty tough. After some practice they get quicker but not easier.
