Position the frame upside down on a pair of stands.  In the picture you can see the 3/16” reinforcement C notch plate in the middle of the rail. That plate was installed in Segment 2 before we boxed the frame rails.

 We are now ready to cap the cut frame sections.  The material is 1/8” X 2” wide cold rolled steel.  Tack weld the piece of steel up to the start of the radius, both sides. Bend the piece of steel over the radius and tack weld on both sides. You might want to heat the steel with a torch to help follow the radius.  Clamp the steel plate down and cut to finish the length.  Again, tack weld as you proceed.  Once the piece is cut and tack welded in place finish all the welding.

Grind the finish welds.  Radius the welds in the final grinding to match the radius in the frame rails. We finish all our edges with hand files after the grinding.  Your bobbed rails will look great. Check out the pictures.
