That is some seriously clean work. Beautiful fab yet functional. I am inspired to say the least

Very nice work as always. Like said above, I always look forward to a Don started build thread.

Looks like you finish a lot of your stuff with a DA sander to get an almost body work look to the steal..

Almanortoy · 11-24-2010, 01:13 PM

How to get that "perfect" finish?

A welder, grinder, and a sander. And years of metal working experience.

Nice clean work you do there.

DWitcher · 11-24-2010, 07:29 PM

Next question, I see a trend with you and plating the outside of the firewall foward on the frame. Can you elaborate more on that? Stock box frame not enough even with stitch welding the inner?
