A question for you Langy.
If I were to ask you to build me a show-stopper like yours, how much would it cost? I can't imagine work of your standard comes cheap. Not that I could afford it even if you said you could do the lot for 50 quid...

I guess a basic rod would be around 30-35K some have gone over 100K !!!
Looking great Langy, seems like a really fun project to do. How are you finishing the bed floor?Wanted to get the tank mounted up and needed some 30mm aluminium angle, nothing on my shelf so popped over to my mate Garys who had some spare, whilst there the angle was welded to the tank, my tig will do aluminium but the Miller Dynasty Gary has is the dogs doo dahs for welding aluminium.
Today I got it mounted, 3 x 5/16" bolts each side is just right
Next job was a bit of one step forward and two back as I had already fixed the bed floor in place but I was never happy with how high it was, I wanted it lower, So I decided to reduce the height of the kickup, out with Mr Angle grinder and a few minutes later a piece of 1/4" plate was welded in, The original frame here is 2 pieces of 1/8" where the 2 C's meet.
I then made up a 2" x 1" x 18swg box ring frame which is welded to returns on the bedsides.
Much better now and it gives me more clearance on the tank.
