Doesn't make a difference to what I'm doing the plates are over the top, freehand with a plasma is hard to get straight

If I was doing anything where it mattered about straightness I'd use a guide or similar but in this case I just ground it smooth and it'll be boxed in by plates so not worried, the rails are in pretty good nick which is good

Not robot quality yet but I'm always improving I was very happy with the join to the crossmember

Finished

Just gotta add mud flaps when the brackets arrive

The chassis legs were primed then coated in this

Can't recommend it enough, dries hard and protects from everything

Gave the loom an extra wrap of insulation tape to protect it abit more. Was a pain to pull it back through though as the welding had melted the rope I used to tie off and so I had to retread a rope through the chassis to pull the loom through bigger rope next time !
