Well done, looks like it came from the factory. 1.5mm mate that is going to be solid. We used 1.2 on most of the metal work and .095 on non structual fabrication. Look forward to seeing the cutting and welding of the above panels.

Cords

You have reason to be a "little bit Proud" your doing excellent work and showing how its done, very inspiring.

I have some rust repairs to tackle and I watch with interest how you do it, and I will give it a try with your work as a guide.

Oh to have the room for all the toys

Nice work
There are so many people out there who will tell you that you can't. What you've got to do is turn around and say "watch me"
