More great work! When I built my Corvette, I made the passenger foot well area extended. I used steel for the lower and aluminum for the upper too. That was all great until I needed room to put a 2nd turbo on and that foot well area is now where a big turbo sits. The passengers have a tight ride. Haha I like the access hole. That's good thinking!

I've found that bead rolling can make you go through a lot of material if you get distracted. I had a bead roller but loaned it to a friend and never got it back. His wife sold it and all of his tools when she caught him cheating on her. That was just another reason to not loan things out anymore.

I know what you mean on mig welders. When I upgraded mine, I made a poor decision to buy one off my Matco guy because I was in a hurry. It is a Nutech and has 2 ground options. I didn't fully read the owner's manual but soon found out that one ground is for thinner metals, and the other is for thicker. If you use the incorrect one, it splatters horrid no matter what settings you change. The lay out charts don't work on it either. It's trial and error. I have notes written down to try and save time for when I need to weld different things. It sure makes me regret not getting another blue machine. My next one will be a tig that can do at least 1/4" aluminum. That will be a bit before I have that coin laying around. Haha
