the bends are actually better than what shows in the picture.

i clamped it in there to give you guys a better idea, nothing is ground or ready to weld (obviously)

Next time you meet a good body man give him a hug. He is a very patient, very skilled man. I am not, and am thinking about going a different route. will try a little more next weekend but pretty close to scraping 1.0 and tring 2.0

Daddy likes thicker metal. Highley aggatated i cant get it. i got further than what picture i took but was to pissy to take any more. My time is becoming very short supplied so this is really making me mad. The process takes to long, and if i do scrap it i was waste about 4.5 hrs in it so far.

I do need a new .308 target though. so some good might come out of it

I'd say if you're not happy with it, finish it the best you can and sell it off. It looks great to me so far and I'm sure someone would take it off your hands.

hard part is finishing it. i am knocking it all down with a 60 grit flap wheel and i am having some serious trouble not blowing through the thin 18 ga.

I am thinking of cutting off what i have done and spot welding the top instead of tacking on the seam. in the seam i would use sandible seam sealer to make look right.
