Jack and Peter,
Thanks for the kind remarks. The stainless is not much of a problem believe it or not. When the sheets are cut with a plasma cutter, there is a very slight slag on the underside. you have to use a grinder to knock it off, and even out the cut angles. That leaves the slivers that will make you pay for your endevors. The trick there is to use 60#grit sandpaper on all edges. That gets rid of the burs, and they are easy to handle then. I have had more trouble with the grinder than anything else. At least 4 scars from it. Seems you can't get into those hard to get places with the guard on. Just have to remember where your hand that is holding the grinder is. OUCH!!! My part of the welding is almost done. Just have to turn the car on its side one more time. Then it's off to the fabricator for the exhaust work and the corrective welding.Couple of blow outs to repair that I know are better to leave to the experts than continue and have to do the entire panel over.

Bill
