subframe fine tuning

Today I shimmed the subframe to the right height on top of a furniture dolly so I could check fit, pull it out cut, repeat.  It worked well.  It was also the right call to take the engine out again.  It made it easy to see how the two subframes will come together and gave me some ideas on how to connect them.

Yesterday when I got started I noticed that my plasma cutter didn't cut like Joe's.  Part of that is Miller >> junk.  But today, I turned the voltage way up, made sure I wouldn't run out of air pressure, and ground a really good ground to use. One or all of those made a huge difference.  I also noticed that my lungs hurt a little today when I woke up.  I normally don't suck much fumes up welding, but this seems to be a different animal.  I noticed today after cutting about 10 inches that the whole garage was filled with white smoke.  Probably need to do this with the windows open and a fan.

Here is the rack and subframe leveled and shimmed to the right height

Here is the initial fit.  I need the subframe to move to the left of this image about 4 more inches.

Zap!  Where have you been all my life, sweetheart?
