mmmmm look at that electric locker in the last pic.....mmmm....  nice work, very nice indeed.... the only down fall i see if how much mud that is going to hold.... and is there any kind of triangulation to it? if yo take a hardhit that frame will prob buckle.... you might want to weld a 1/4" plate along the frame to give it more strength... i thought mine was well built, 2x2 1/4 wall square running to the frame with a slight triangle at the frame end and i smashed them good at the GAC, by the end of the day i could only open my door from the outside.... my frame buckled and pushed the rocker up and jamed the door, it even bent the bottom of the door up..... no biggy, after the gac most of the body was choped off.... ;D |

there is a 2-3 inch gap at the bottom that will let alot of the mud out, and the owner said he wanted them that way, so he got it. as for the frame buckling, there is a peice of plate welded behind every spot where it bolts to the frame that is about 3/4 of an inch larger then then the one that is attached to the rails(except for the bottom) so it will have to buckle a large section of frame.
