Yeah, I did cardboard first, then 3/16 partical board wood for the stencils so that theyd last a long time, now steel. So basically it is like building the whole thing three times.

That textured finish is a great idea... If you can't get over the rocks, at least you can grind them down smaller! 
I'm just kidding! Look forward to seeing them smoothed out and painted...

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
