Tracked Amphibious ATV Build PART 14 - Winch Mounts & Sheet Metal Work

This time I’m fabricating mounts for the 12 V winches and finally start the sheet metal work on the tracked amphibious vehicle. To achieve the rigidness and structural soundness of the winch mounts I’ll have to support the mount plates from various angles with rectangular steel tubing. Yes, I’m welding on more steel and it is waaayyy tooo heeaavyy for some people but I’ll bet it’ll float like a boat when it’s finished. :) That’s some backyard engineering right there - hardly no math ever used and eyeballing
