Working on modifying the rear crossmember for the new spring on the Phaeton.

I worked today on modifying the rear crossmember. Were going to run a 36' straight spring and the crossmember needs to be flattened so that the I can mount the spring up higher on the axle.

First I put bracing all over so that nothing would move when I removed the rear crossmember. Then I cut out the center, and the removed the other two sides. I have to modify the center piece by taking out some pie cuts so that I can make it straight.
