Love the E-book Chester. lots of good stuff in there. as far as the taper goes, the true "lo buck" trick is: before welding the tabs on the frame, heat the area around the hole red hot with a oxy torch. set the piece over an anvil hole. I keep an old tie rod end, still connected to a tie rod (makes a great handle) to stick in the hole and give it a couple heafty whacks with a hammer. forms the correct taper in the tab.
