Sorry for asking so many questions. But how do you conect the floor rails to the side rails. If u could post a picture or just let me know that would be awesome. Thanks

I would love to build some more. But if I want to make more that 6 dollars an hour building them no would need to have a lot preordered. It's been a while since I've made one. If you know of more people that want one. Let me know and I will ponder it.
