Nice! That looks really good and sharp.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Looking good! Any chance of another shot against a plain background to better show off that frame work?

Fundamental flaw... I surely wouldn't drive it - maybe on the NASCAR circuit. Not sure how this came to be - I checked this - at least I thought I did. Oh well - it's going to look cool in the end.

Looking good John, especially the plain background photos. Those showoff all that framing! The cutting mat lines blend in with the frame work and don’t show it off.
