[QUOTE="nkrell11, post: 8541046, member: 645505"] Yeah I believe that Jeff and I are the same age if not very close I just turned 24. Well more progress today, got all the threaded rod cut. I may have been wrong about doing it faster with a hack saw, but I was much faster with a angle grinder and a cutoff wheel lol. This evening after dinner I started the assembly by the 4th one I had it down. The epoxy set up pretty fast they aren't perfect as some of the paint flaws are visible but I'm happy so far. The epoxy takes 3 days to fully cure but is 90% cured in 24 hours. So hopefully tomorrow the magnets show up and I can get them put on tomorrow night. So here are some pictures I took while putting the 4th one together. Threaded rods in the weld nuts: [URL="http://s1271.photobucket.com/user/nkrell11/media/The%20Jeep%20Build/20170110_204625_zps3gvubqsy.jpg.html"][IMG]http://i1271.photobucket.com/albums/jj631/nkrell11/The%20Jeep%20Build/20170110_204625_zps3gvubqsy.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Half of the pillars on and the weld nuts finger tight: [URL="http://s1271.photobucket.com/user/nkrell11/media/The%20Jeep%20Build/20170110_205607_zpsr7zhlol3.jpg.html"][IMG]http://i1271.photobucket.com/albums/jj631/nkrell11/The%20Jeep%20Build/20170110_205607_zpsr7zhlol3.jpg[/IMG][/URL] All the pillars on and finger tight: [URL="http://s1271.photobucket.com/user/nkrell11/media/The%20Jeep%20Build/20170110_210256_zpsgrajpuqb.jpg.html"][IMG]http://i1271.photobucket.com/albums/jj631/nkrell11/The%20Jeep%20Build/20170110_210256_zpsgrajpuqb.jpg[/IMG][/URL] I then put the top plates on part way they're a tight fit had to tap them down with a rubber mallet.
