i got a start on the crossmember. it will have a another piece that looks just like the one coming off the frame on the other side. another piece of 2x3 will go underneath and the links will come off the front of it. the joints should be no lower than 2" under the frame rails. id like them lower/flatter but i dont want them hung up on everything either. the frame rails have 1/4" inside and out and the xmember will be on 1/4" fish plates. it will all unbolt and slide out. doesnt look like much now, but ill make more progress on it sunday or monday.
