[ATTACH type="full" alt="20140405_152124.jpg"]62184._xfImport[/ATTACH] i also welded almost all the small filler panels to the big piece of deck, so thats all one piece now. i still have to make the threshold to transition from the middle bench to the casting deck. im not going to over think that- prob just a piece of sheet metal broken on a 45 to give a comfort edge. one last parting shot[ATTACH type="full" alt="20140405_150826.jpg"]62185._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
