Dean, you asked for some critique in another thread. Someone mentioned it was too square looking up front. I know that is a 'looks' thing, but I agree.

My biggest issue is that I see a fair chunk of cash and effort being put into that build, yet it appears you guys hired Helen Keller to do the welding for you. Need a good welder to help?
