The salvage yard I usually it down in Hampton normally has a stack of 4x8 expanded sheet, but they're new sheets and at a new sheet price (about $60 per if I recall). Plus they've been sitting out, so will require a little more than the usual cleanup for paint. What're you looking at for cost if you get it elsewhere?

Actually I've got some sheets of stainless but Jay had said he could hook me up with some pre-cut sections. I usually get my steel from the old Jacobson's place off Buell Street. Haven't updated my price list lately as steel jumps around too much so I just call ahead of time for quote. Do you have a price on 3"x5"x3/16" tube?

Looked around shop earlier and didn't see any 2"x4" or 3"x5".  But I have plenty of the 2"x2"  I'm keepin' my eye open. And I'll cut the expanded in the am, and might have it ready for p/u @ lunch... I'll holla |

More progression, pretty much ready to put the ramp covering on- Hi-lift the multi-tool (tack weld pulled apart!  )-  Trying to get the best angle for welds N2ROCKS taught me this many moons ago. Thanks dude ;D-   It's about 90% finish welded and the front outer supports are cut now-  |

Went to CORE4WD HQ 2day and the ramp looks like it'll be ready real soon. Dave has been playin' SuperWelder again....  It'll be cool for us see the amount of flex each vehicle has. Something new to play on at picnics and meetings. ;D |

Just keeping it easier on you! I thought Rene was coming home around 7 but she didn't make it home til 930! Alex was picked up by his Nana at 530. That equaled more shop time! ;D
