Just look at it! See how warped it is already and the paint aint even scratched yet. That thing don't fit right.

Has Ted or anyone else from EA commented on how well they think the first build went? It seams like there was a few questions but overall it seamed to go smoothly. It seams like Roger took it a little cautiously, being the first time EA has put together a kit, to avoid making a mistake requiring welds to be cut.

I talked to Travis Tuesday. He said it looked good.

I got a piece of expanded metal to add to the back. Also my test batch of paint did fine.

On the PAINT did ya do a scratch test just to see how well it worked? I'm sure it will be better than un-hardened paint no matter. Drying correctly was biggest concern without wrinkling or burning the paint (drying too fast or causing chemical makeup problems.)
