MY WEEKEND PROJECT

I figured I would share my weekend project with everyone. Open to all coments but take in mind this is my first attempt at stick welding. It needs some more bracing and cleaning up, but so far total cost is $30. Next weekend I will be skinning it with 14 or 16 ga. sheet metal. Any suggestions otherwise?

looks alright to me, what are you going to put on top? sheetmetal it? maybe should have put the gas struts further back to lift higher. other then that i think its cool.

Yeah, he's sheetin it in 16 or 14 ga steel he already said thatAnd it he put them furlther back the shocks would collapse before the lid shut...Most tanneu's(sp?) don't open any further than that...Looks awesome bro...especially for stick!Frame, brackets, everything, looks bad!Love the countersunk hardware by the way

looks good. where'd you get the struts from and what size tubing is that? 1"? I'm about to build one now
