Got home a little early today so I finished getting the brackets off . Welded up the holes and working on the upper link mount for the front . I have a set of motor mounts but I need to figure out placement first.

Looking good. I’ve been home all day and I didn’t do anything to mine. You need to come over here for a few weeks.

There were 18 holes just in this section 
. But they are gone now I just hit it with some primer to get a visual reference.

My thoughts are to make a plate that attaches to the front crossmember and attach the tube to that . Then once i make the plate that the winch will attach to i can run some gussets from the bottom of the winch plate to the front cross member plate . This needs to be Strong !!! and not move .

I was able to flip the frame over today so I could work on getting some more brackets off and welding some more stuff .

These frames are so hard to get a nice clean weld on . I am far from a professional welder but for whatever reason the frames just are hard to get a clean weld . I don’t think it will fall apart but I want it to look good

I know what you mean. My inner frame was the worst and it seemed like it was saturated in gear oil and/or had contaminants inside of the steel. Your welds look good to me!
I’ve also felt that way too. No matter how much I prep the metal either.
