Very cool, I still am envious of the rotisserie. Belly pan, huh? Because of the double door?
Nice work!

That's some impressive welding. I struggle with butt welds (as I presume those are). I end up with blow by and a biggger gap. Maybe setting it too high? Time for me to come out for another KKWA refresher course. Great job.

That's all you've accomplished since

Just kidding- very nice. I think your welding skills are far beyond mine......

Your right Bruce, it's been a weak effort on this bus over the last year.
I tend to get a little burnt out welding and grinding for myself and others.
Also, I've had a terrible new addiction.....
