Good to know Doug sells parts. I picked up parts elsewhere (and no complaints), but spent a bit to weld up a spot on the crossmember and get it ground down. Thought of renting a MIG welder and doing it myself, but the shop did a great job at a good price. I'll compare Doug's used parts next time, and am thinking rust-free California parts may be worth a premium. Sounds like a fun day, except for the Google maps thing. I always get lost using Google maps and always kick myself for leaving the GPS at home.
