Nice work. You have a good jump on it now. The grinding is tedious, but I found that if you grind the welds the parts almost fall off. Saved me a lot of grinding (on one side at least) Of course, thats after I cut them down to a managable size....

Wear safety glasses, a full face shield and gloves. Grinders/cutters/power tools don't know the difference between flesh and metal...they don't care.
Go to Lowe's and spend $15 on a FULL face shield. You only get TWO eyes.
Safety should ALWAYS be first in any project.
You go out in our shop w/o your safety glasses on...3 day upaid vacation.
