Carwash Crawler - Build Thread... again.

ok, started all my panels... man, what a time consuming ***** pain in the ass this has been... but, very rewarding. With each one i add, it looks more like a completed rig and gets me all giddy to get it done.

Some will say i'm going WAY OVERKILL, but I am using .125 5052 aluminum for all the panels. It is much harder to bend / break, but safer when it comes to things like keeping driveshafts out of the interior compartment, etc.

The interior floor panels were especially difficult with all the seatbelt and seat mount tabs etc to cut out for. And the ones that i have left to do on the inside require some tig work and multi plane breaks, etc.
