Default put the rollpan under the blade. looking for reassurance

alot of people said they didnt like how my pan hung and i didnt either after seeing pictures of jm's pan so i started chopping on it. i still have to do some bracking so its not totally done. i still have a little more sanding to do, but ran out of sunlight.

If you use the braces to bring it in just a little it will be fine. The bottom corners look like they need to be adjusted in a hair too.
How does it look from the side? is it flush?

Looking good tho

Looks good !!

Pull those bottom corners in a little (or weld the rollpan flush with the body) and it'll look perfect

yeah, i think when i get the brackets under there it will suck up and be leve all the way across. i just havent had the chance to make the brackets, and dont havent had the time to let epoxy dry onto the rollpan.

im always looking for honesty! i would rather yall tell me it looks like ***, than to think it and say it looks good. i can take it!

oh, and the only reason you can see that the middle sits just a hair higher is because the camera is lower than the pan. when its on the street you cant even tell.

Definitely much better in my opinion, the "big butt" look is gone.
