PS.....it's a MF to put in tubs with the 1/4 on....just ask Mark.....if your going to re-do....leave the 1/4 tacked....just in case you HAVE to remove it for the fabrication.
no charge for the advice...hey..you get what you pay for around here!!!
Actually I was planning on splitting the tubs between the rolled edge and the hinge bracket and add the 2.5" strip, So everything welded in already will stay put except where its welded to the frame rail.
