I'm sure your kids would like an A frame for christmas!
That is one serious bit of fab work Matt, how much did it set you back for the fab work and powder coating if you don't mind me asking?
Did the fab shop keep plans for it as I can see a few people wanting one made!

Flaming hell! You got some kind of production crew? This is all coming together very quick. That frame looks like it's always been there.
Was really looking forward to seeing this but have got to the point of hating you!! Mine still as I picked it up
