Here is Bill placing in some 2x6's to act as a support for the rear rib. The I-beam is 3 inches wide so the 2x6 fit perfectly. I'll explain later how those come into play.

Mix it up Kim! FYI I hate this scale from aircraft spruce, it times out in one min if your plugged in or not. I would have to tap the scale while Kim mixed. We were using masks due to being in an enclosed area and I'm very allergic to the hardener (bumm
