I got some welding done, mostly pieces allready in the car ( had to finish alot of corner beads still)
I got 3 extra pieces into the car and ran out of wire untill I get paid agian, so I grinded almost the entire floor smooth.
pics in random order
Im pretty broke, after spending almost 1600 on vet bills in the last 2 weeks.
Im out of wire,so I will be grinding the rest of week, it needs to be done and I Cant weld any more, atleast when I start welding agian I wont have so much left hahahah grinding is boring lol

I know what you mean sinc I have so much steel in my build. Grinding sux and wire isn't cheap. Buy the big roll. I realized it was much cheaper in the end.

Looking good so far. Like the progress I'm seein'. Now let's see more of it...I did some welding myself yesterday on my new battery rack. The sides of your cage maybe not be fun...but just wait until you fo the roof. Overhead welding is so much fun...not.

um most if the roof is allready done, it still needs cross bracing but I got a good chunk of it outa the way allready. (your right it sucks, but it was pretty staright forward, the sides however suck becuase of all the angles)
some progress is better than none didnt get alot done.

you have good eyes, its one of my bad habits
I got really tired of crooked cuts so I went out and bought myself a new Ryobi Miter Saw, bought the metal cutting blade, sooo no more crooked cuts, and perfect angles WOOT, my portaband cuts faster but not nearly as nice.
pictures this evening after a full days work
