Really excellent forming and fab methods - I have learned a good bit from your posts - thank you. The guard rail and ladder methods are the best!

Thanks for those links to Waterjet companies and the Plasma cutter info - hopefully someday I can afford a table myself.

Once again - thanks for sharing your project - it's awesome!

Thanks.....not sure if it is "art" but it is turning out to be a lot of work!!
( You just need to build a bigger dozer for all the snow... )

Thanks!!!.....glad to see my simple build and ideas are helpful...that's what this is all about, sharing and learning from others. There are builders that are much more skilled and way way more talented than me on here....as long as we share, we all get to learn....and there is SO MUCH we all can learn from each other !!! Thanks Again....

Started playing around with the fuel tank.....actually this will have two fuel tanks....it should have one fuel tank and one hyd. tank but I'm going to make both sides the same....besides you can only see one side at a time and most people won't see the error so hey works for me.....Ok so I'm cutting corners, again!! ( I just want to get this done...work out the details later..maybe )

The tank looks a bit too long....need to shorten it just a little....try and try again!!!!

Looks good to me. I think you need to air up those rear tires again! That foam you have in there is unhappy...
