Seriously though, you should put that stuff up to sell to other tinkerers if you are sick of it rather than chucking it. If the timing is right, I'll try to make it to your street slant shootout next year... Keep up the fabricatin', Lou

Look at the bright side, you got a good amount of sheetmetal and welding experience out of that unit. I bet the next one will be nicer based on what you learned. I tend to not throw stuff away and I really do not know if that is good or bad. I know I have it, I just don't remember where it is! DD
