So far so good, everything has gone to plan :)
I've started to fab the rear vertical plates that shocks and swaybar will mount to, and fuel tank will drop down in between..
 
Thanks Rolex, as you can see I have a few more cross tubes to add.
I'm really happy how it turned out, nice n plumb/straight

I'm looking into moving so I can get my shop set up again. I'm lost without my spray booth and I'm desperately waiting for Micro Mark to go on sale with free shipping for their milling machine.
 
Oh a milling machine would be a great tool to have..
Good luck on getting Shop setup..
 
Wow how did I miss this thread, nice work man!..Any updates?
