    Kudo's on the Kuda.

    I wanted to go this way on the frame connectors but was too afraid of the carpet issues.  Great welds and good work!

    That's slick.  Looks great!

    Did you drive Kuda all over New Zealand with all those holes before?

    Wow - those are some mad metal fabrication skills you have my friend.  Am really impressed with those stiffening flutes you stamped into those repair floor panels. They look factory!
