Osso, as usual an incredible job on the top. Below is how I handled the oversized holes. Most on this top frame were elongated so I measured the holes in the elongated dimension, then measured several of the screws and came up with a consensus as to what will work for all of the holes. I called my local bearing (etc.) place and gave them the OD, ID, and length of the bushings I needed. The very patient guy could match the OD and ID perfectly, so we fiddled around with the lengths so I could hacksaw (yes, very sophisticated) them into the correct lengths. I then got a drill bit to exact OD size and drilled each hole to fit. The bushing are oil impregnated, but I also added a good dollop of grease in each bushing before inserting the screw.
The lower photos are of my (also) sophisticated spray booth. The first photo shows the frame after being epoxy primered. Using a very aggressive rotary brush everything was brought down to bare metal before spraying.
