lawrence...it is a right PITA but if you spend the time to clean it first or even glance over it with a angry grinder flapwheel it is no different from any other steel......if I were to build another roadster I would want bright drawn MS and I would buy a flat pack, but that is from experience which is one thing I would not change as it is a valuable learning curve..,.....one thing is for certain, you will have to treat the black stuff in some way as it will pi** you off in no time. the end result will still fill you with satisfaction
