Got my sheet metal file ready for the CNC Plasma, just waiting to pickup my steel in the next day or so when I get a free moment.

D-Ring tabs came in today. Picked them up cheap off of eBay, $10 for both with shipping came out to about $17 for the two of them.

Update for the day:
I got over to the CNC plasma cutter today and cut my steel. It turned out better than I had expected it to. I can finally say that Graphics Engineering class payed off.
If everything goes smoothly, I might get around to bending and welding it this weekend. I've got some work to do on my frame horns, I'm going to be cutting the stock bumper mounts off and playing the frame with 3/16.
