[QUOTE="bulldog, post: 180294, member: 4592"] To make sure the compartment doors did not fall through, when I built the sub frame I used 1.5" angle and the actual framing was done out of 1" box tubing. This way there is .25"-.5" of the compartment doors that sit on the 1.5" angle of the sub frame when the doors are closed. The only part of the doors that do not sit on the sub frame is the edge that has the hinge, that is supported by rivets every 2.5-3". I really planned this thing out with very little planning and just committed to an idea that actually worked but I'm glad I did it the way that I did or else you have to add support to the lids and that is just a waste of expensive aluminum. I hope this helps and if you need pics, just let me know and I'll get some taken. [/QUOTE]
