I managed to define the template shape to something my CAD programs can read, by filtering a cellphone picture thru corelldraw, saving as dxf, getting it scaled properly, then drawing the rest of the truss around the curvey template stuff. Pretty tech if you ask me. I'll let Kevin comment later on the fitment, it looks really close to the paper template to me. (sorry, didn't have any clean 1/4", the surface rust will come right off with a wire cup, it looks like shit in the pics) its interlocked, not welded yet. Does not rely on welds to stay together. gotta make some LCA brackets now.

That is awesome. It is incredible what you can make. I like how you put the pipe in it, now you can see thru it but dirt and debris can't get deposited down inside where it cannot be removed. Very impressed

The whole thing is pushed about an inch towards the drivers side. It will take me less time to swap bodys than to pull the orange one around.
