we just measured the frame to make sure it's cool, then alternated sides doing the welding so it didn't get too hot and warp. seems like that worked ok.
anyway, i got some more pics uploaded.
picked up a 12 ton press and some bushing drivers from harbor freight
to press in all the bushings.
i highly recommend getting a press. it's a gazillion times easier than a puller or vice. only $110 too. if you're gonna work on bushings more than twice, it'll pay for itself easy. and you can take it apart for storage when you don't need it.

nah, $110 for just the press. you can get it for $80 if you order from the internet, but HF is about 5 minutes from my house
the small driver set was $10 and the big one was $40. the big one is unusually high quality for HF stuff too.
