Nice job, George, on the Fab-up and pic. Like CargoCrawler, I too don't care for the clamshell. I replaced that with a .375 top plate and U-bolts on both sides. I'm guessing you've already gotten this well in hand but I always recommend, esp with clamshells, check and recheck the torque every hundred miles or so for the first several hundred. And watch for signs of that stamped metal to stress/tear.

In this work there cutting, polish, etc.. and not yet had the top plate.
Thanks, I see your project from the beginning, you and CargoCrawler inspired me, lol
