Re: pic: Off Season Sheetmetal 6WD
Tips I've learned from James Tonthat (1477) and Sean Cantrell (2415):
If you are fabricating the sheet with a punch, you should use the minimal amount of dyes possible for lightening patterns (228's frame is a great example of this).
Your flanges look pretty large (might be the picture), I learned it is good to standardize the flanges to .5" and .75" depending on the application.
To make the frame more rigid, a 1/8" cut bellypan such as the ones used by 254/968/973/1323 would be greatly useful.
I'm still learning a ton about sheetmetal so I'm just passing on tips that I've gotten. Looks good.
