so after a bigger than usal night for my 17th last night, the motivation to do work was low, so all i did was trim the bonnet to size and screw it down, once i can get my hands on a mig welder i'll tack it,
i was thinking put a tack ever 4-5 inchs and maybe so dog and wedges?

after this i will do some test welding on the bonnet from my bush basher, and see how the welder goes and if i'm capable of welding such material, if not i'll see if my teacher is interested in doing it for me
