Hello all;

Thanks for checking in and following along.
Happy Easter, if that is your jam. If not, then happy spring? Either way I hope this post finds you healthy and happy.

Tuts, I will be sure to post a picture of the frame once I have it painted.

Today was a busy day, I got a lot accomplished though you wouldn't be able to tell from the pictures. I wanted to remove the box and finished welding it out. I had beefed up the box frame to be sure that it will handle my motorcycle with no issues but had not finished welding it out. I had also reinforced the areas where the tie down strips will go have some good material to anchor the tie down strips to. I was probably 75% done the welding on top and maybe 30% complete underneath. So today was weld and grind, weld and grind, flip then rinse and repeat.
Nothing glamorous, but it is done and I can get the box sandblaster and epoxied next.

Stay safe,
Steve
