Continued progress building out the chassis.

Front and rear "torque boxes" are burned in and now one continuous structural member from front to rear. I took my time with setup and welding so everything stayed level and square. I'll wire-wheel and blend all the MIG welds later.

Next up is the front frame expansion - looking to make a stronger connection between the front rails and the torque boxes, improving rigidity, and transferring loading to the (not yet built) inner rails and rockers. There's a lot of pock marks in the frame, so I'm filling with my TIG and smoothing as I go.
