Thanks Ken - I know that some grades of SS are really tough to work. 304 and 304L are about the easiest with the 316 and 316L a bunch tougher to use. I'll be watching the progress with lots of interest

Whiplash - I'm in the process of putting some upholstered bomber seats in my '31 and removing my nice Glide Engineering for a couple of reasons - to get me lower so my head is below the top of the windshield and my dunlap a bit further from the steering wheel and also so I can more easily get my US size 12 feet on the pedals
