Heheheh nahhhh you don't wanna waste yer time with that! What you needs is a bit of 2mm thick 2"x3" with the ends cut'n'shut round-



Then weld the tab over at the ends to stop the rain getting in-



And hey presto-



The perfect ram-raiding vehicle..............which is obviously what you're building yours for.............

feeling bad. just haven't had the time to work on it in about 3 mouths now. i really need to pull my finer out and get some more done. its just all the other projects in my life are taking over. i must get back on it.

only needs a little bit of welding on the rear then it can go for the paint.
