David,
When you get these parts formed up, what are you doing with them?
Do you give them a coat of 1k etch/weld through primer and then put them in storage? are they going in a closed container with a bunch of desiccant to protect the parts from rust whilst you get more parts formed up?
I feel I should also start doing some of what you are doing. At present I have just been working on collecting and restoring the bolt on parts whilst I finish my CAD work. Trying to plan ahead.
Keep up the good work.
Ryan
