Whats the weight going be like with that much SS??
Hi Alex

Don't know yet. I guess that it's a wait and see exercise. There's lots of weight that can be cut out of the structure because it's so inherently strong. The heaviest part is the curled-over steel rim - which can also be removed if absolutely necessary. I'll keep it all there until I get the whole thing assembled, and then I'll see where the balance point is going to be and go from there.

Brendan - thanks for that - top idea. I'll start looking for a local shop that has a plasma torch.
