I like it. Love seeing someone build them for themselves and not worry about what others think. Different strokes for different folks!

It's interesting for sure, looks like a decent job. My only question, as I assume most of us share, is (a) what's under that diamond plate; and (b) what if anything was done to keep moisture from getting under it? Or was the diamond plate cut in as opposed to layed over the original body?

If you look close you can see rivets around all the edges of the diamond plate. Looks like a thin skinned layer over the steel. I would be worried about what is going on underneath that stuff....

Maybe the guy is a Firefighter... We like D-plate on our Fire engines...


True though... What is it hiding and what is going on under it?
