It’s kind of a bitch to sand off paint and get it clean enough to do brazing after painting the tube. I have to buy some more regular 3mm nuts to brazing on the flatbed portion to hold the panels and etc.

That's why my jk will be there with unpainted metal work lol (assuming I can get the body mounted tonight that is )

Comping with zero run time is always an experience, just usually not a good one, look at my lucia 2.2 scores for proof of that
