For someone that just learned to weld and has a history of makin dumbass mistakes working on their vehicle, you might want to step back and take some advice from others. Even though all the young guys in this club, including myself at times, have the idea that all the old tamorites are the ones running off the newbs, they are still the ones with the experience and knowledge to help this dying club keep its head above water.
As for boxing the frame or building a crossmember, ya it might be a little more work and tough to work around all the **** in there, but overcoming those issue is what being a good fabricator/builder is all about. Just as I told you before, take the time and do it right the first time or you are going to get pissed when **** goes wrong on something that could have been prevented. How hard would it really be to make a bend quick crossmember or make one out of square? The factory had one, but I guess the designers were dumb and dont know how to make a vehicle last 30+ with a monkey driving it.
