I have received my frame stiffeners from TnT customs and am needing help welding them on. Would like to have them on in the next couple weeks if possible. Anyone interested?

Not this weekend, but maybe next. Would that work for you?

I am on call that weekend so I might not be able to help. Can try to convince brother to help, don't think it would be too hard. Did you get the PM I sent you? Was I interpreting correctly?

Yes you did. If you wanted to do it another weekend or during the week, just let me know. Not sure how much time I'll have this weekend. Sounds pretty busy already.

I looked over those instructions, and there are no provisions for preventing rust under the stiffeners. I would spray some weld-through copper primer on the unibody rails prior to installing the stiffeners.

Yeah my brother call TnT customs and talked to somebody. They said to only grind off undercoating where it is needed for fitment to prevent rust in gaps between metal. weld through treatment is definitely a good idea, thanks Kelly.
