These two pieces are 1" thick steel and they are now drilled and tapped with 3/8 BSF threads.

It will be an interesting observation in the end Colin that the most heavily armoured part of this tank will be the gearbox.

I set my original box on my work table and welded stays down to it with braces to stop movement while it gets welded. I have also cut my pieces on my new CNC plasma machine. They take some getting used to but cuts great and very accurate.

It is now welded and just need some flap grinding for some neatness.

I missed a couple of welds but now they are done also. Time for some holes and tapping.

Almost finished all the holes and tapping today with about a dozen tomorrow. Big job and quite slow.
