    Impressive, especially with your built it yourself pieces of equipment doing what you intended for them to do.

    That piece may have helped 20 or 30 guys here solve one of those "how am I going to do that"? issues when building their rod in the garage at home. No doubt it will set a lot of brain wheels to turning on other guys projects.

    The firewall looks fantastic and equal to many of the spendy ones out there for sale too.

    From here you do not look like much of an amateur!!! That is amazing!!! Too late for me, I built mine already. It looks like a cave man built it compaired to yours!

    I may have missed it, but how did you form the bead in the middle?

    Excellent work...!

    But now don't get me wrong Why did you weld the outer flange to it and didnt go the hammerform route again? would have been a lot less work.

    Man, that's slick! Makes me think that I might be able to do some metal work after all. Sure beats the hell out of using an old wheel barrow! :D Beautiful job!

    I agree with the others here, where's the "amatuer" part? You have the gift. Butch/56sedandelivery.

    That is exactly what I'm looking to do. Thanks for the layout and simple instructions.
