    Well...



    Pic is just after I poured the epoxy a couple days ago. It's starting to cool off here in Ohio so I hurried up and got the frame together so I could get the epoxy down before winter. Checked it today with my 36" straight edge and except for the weld seams where the epoxy is a little deeper and shrunk more, I couldn't get a 0.0015" feeler gauge to go so I am pretty happy. Gonna bring home my 0.0005" level home from work tomorrow and see where I'm at.

    I should really start a build log since this isn't really the right sub-forum for this.

    Ahh. Close, but not close enough to Ashtabula for a mid-week garage night.

    Yeah its a bit far to drive for, admittedly, not much to see.
