Most of battle with the right wheel well of misery is over . Frame rails almost defeated .

But getting low on energy so I’ll have to go refuel and come back and finish this fight

Left side wheel well of misery is done! Right side is now all clamped up and getting ready to weld

Entering the wheel well of misery to do battle with the upper frame rails .

Getting these end caps welded in . I think the long form YouTube of this might be fun, and I’ll have a guest star :)
