Steel IV 9-1-12

After spending many hours and bruised knuckles moving tie rods back and forth, it was determined that they moved easier when the holes in the sills were enlarged slightly.  This was done to the inner and intermediate sills only, leaving the outer sills intact.  Craig is working on one of the intermediate sills in the photo above.
Meanwhile, John is fabricating more clamps to hold the steel tightly to the inner sills.
Thusly.  Looks like they will fit.  Now, how do we fasten the two long pieces on each inner sill together in the middle?  More to come.
