Picked these up on sale from Harbor Freight, looks like they'll make good door handles & latches as well as a little character.

Yessir, these two areas are the only places I didn't have sufficient material to complete with plate. Considering no one is going to see it, I'm ok with that. Almost used channel but decided against due to wasps. I've also decided it will be easier to build the door to cook chamber on opposite side ...

An extra spring on heavy side is common. Those box trucks with crane on one side get an extra spring to level the load out.

I look forward to seeing the duo together over axle.

I had a job requiring 3/16 & Just using what I've got. Guess I could laminate the 3/16 & 1/8" on the top or add angle as stiffeners as well.
