This is a freaking sweet build. Someday I may copy this build and make one of my own when I have more time.

Typically on a purpose built they do, but MIP got away with it 8)

Looking great! I was thinking about bracing the extended inner front joints on mine, yours may want a brace also?

great job on the front turnbuckles....that is where my head was before seeing it on yours. i did something similar as an exercise once, but yours is done much better/cleaner than I was able to.
