Bruce, MUD allows 3 pic uploads, and they all appear, unlike PBB where you have to post one at a time...

Picked up some steel today to start on the motor mounts and finish re-boxing the frame. I bought some 3/16ths for the frame boxing and the plates for the motor side of the motor mounts. Got some 1/4 to make the tabs to mount the frame side of the motor mounts. And some 1 3/4 Sch 40 tube for the bushings and tubes to tie the motor mount together. I'm copying Woody's design. Time to get back to work.
 
Tonight I re-boxed the frame section I cut out. I'm a newbie to metal work... :eek:

You do good work :)
 
But why would you want to cover up nice metal??
 
for some critical stuff you may want to avoid plain vertical shapes and joints when welding on the frame. those can be bad stress risers. My trailer frame has some poorly designed tilt binding that were welded vertical all the way through the frame height. Once the frame cracked open right at the joint along the entire height. Scary stuff. Needless to say, I reinforce/repair plated it in a <> fashion.

What you did is probably OK, but you might think about it for some later jobs.

keep the good work going ;)

I agree on this point, Medusa set me strait some time back and we do the football shaped plates now.

Just to point out, although I am by no means a good welder, that your welds look cold, not much penitration?
