    Default Al-ooh-mini-um

    I haven't done much aluminum(other than a cast intake repair) lately, so I needed some practice(still do )! I'm trying to build up an address list, so I'm gonna have forms to fill out for people at the power tour stops. I'm gonna do a drawing for prizes after we get back. But I needed a drop box for the forms, so I decided to make one this morning. It turned out pretty good. The bottom actually bolts on; I've got four 1/4" thick tabs welded on the inside of each corner that I drilled and tapped. The bolt heads act as feet too, so it works pretty well.

    welds look good, but your letters need a little shapeliness

    Yeah, and the spacing is all jacked up. I didn't feel like grinding it down and doing it over again though.

    Better add one hell of a chain, that might fetch a few pennies at the scrap yard when your not looking!
