[QUOTE="DocBrown, post: 436530, member: 12529"] Thanks man, I was very pleasantly surprised with the decals. I purchased all my aluminum from Mine & Mill industrial supply in Lakeland. There's another place in town I've purchased from before but they don't sell to the public. I bet there's a place in your area, maybe try calling Airgas and see who they'd recommend. I'm glad you liked the videos. I did a lot of searching around the internet when I first started the project and the videos were most helpful. I figured if I was going through the trouble of painting I might as well do the whole thing, haha! You're correct on the weight. The key was the design of the front structure, all the members under bending stress are the thicker tube while the vertical pieces are thinner gauge. The rear floor stringers are the thin gauge as well. The front frame and recessed troll tray weighed 26lbs. Thanks for the nice comments guys. It took quite a bit of thinking, planning, sketching, & scrapping designs but it paid off. [/QUOTE]
