    What a curveball !! Not in the attention to details, which are always phenomenal, but in what areas were chosen. Never ever would have guessed front crush zone and door mechanisms plus the teaser of air conditioning. As always I cannot wait for the next installment for viewing !!

    These guys are great fabricators. I think they could use a TIG welder as well as their MIG welder. Imagine what they could do with a CNC plasma cutter!!

    We do have a TIG set-up but as everything so far has been 2mm plate and the like, it hasn't really been necessary to break it out!

    Thanks for watching everyone, so glad you're enjoying them.

    Cheers,
