Default my first tuber

Ive had a few days off so i figured i would take a shot a building a tube chassis for my clod. Heres what i came up with after about 6 hours. It needs some more diagonal bracing and a bunch of sanding and grinding to clean up the joints, but over all i am very pleased with my first attempt at brazing.

Gotta say you did a nice job if its your first time. Clean it up and start the build and keep us all updated. Did you have the design in mind or did you just build as you went along? Gonna work on the skid? Looks a little on the weak side.

I based it on a simple profile drawing i had done , thats it. i havent had a chance to work on it in a while, but i plan to take the skid off and put a tube sub frame behind it to support everything, i had just brazed it on there to see if it would look alright. as soon as i make some more progress i will post more pics.
