I'd definitely go with the 7018 low hydrogen rod as it would offer a higher tensile strength! :wink:

Well now that the smoke box face has been turned to the proper (again) O.D., the drilling of the bolt holes will commence on Monday and I am going to do the oddball bolt pattern, just to piss the "experts" off. I still am debating whether to to paint my G5 Tusacn Red or Brunswick green but that is still a few years away. Anybody want to take a shot at fabricating the cab?
