looks good man. Lots of splatter tho, make sure you prep the area your welding it makes it a lot easier to get nice clean welds without so much splatter. can't wait to see it done.

Sorry for not posting for a while, my phone was dead for about a week so I had no camera or anything, kind of a bust, but, I have had some time to work. The corners are on and Ill be working on it more later but heres a quick updates inbetween finals today. This is just for a trial fitting, they will be taken off, sanded, and powdercoated eventually
