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. -------------------- 2003 World Finals S.S. 5+ 8th 2004 World Finals S.M. 3-4 5th 2004 MECA World Finals M5 4th 2004 MECA World Finals MR5 4th 2004 MECA World Finals DB5 2nd 2005 World Finals S.M. 3-4 8th 2007 Ext 1 Not done in time 2008 Ext 1 ??????www.AudioAdvantage.com

The boss man bought me a 2 pound roll of wire from harbor frieght for helping him fix his trailer ok so I am now doing what I consider the hardest part of the steel, the sides. I have a good idea how I want it to go, and so far its coming out the way I planned it in my head. Ignore my big ugly funky lookin welds, they will all be ground down later. thats it for tonight, hopefully tomorrow I will get more in than I did tonight. -------------------- Formerly known as SacMustang

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. -------------------- 2003 World Finals S.S. 5+ 8th 2004 World Finals S.M. 3-4 5th 2004 MECA World Finals M5 4th 2004 MECA World Finals MR5 4th 2004 MECA World Finals DB5 2nd 2005 World Finals S.M. 3-4 8th 2007 Ext 1 Not done in time 2008 Ext 1 ??????www.AudioAdvantage.com

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. -------------------- Formerly known as SacMustang
