Hey guys. I figured I'd start a thread to log my progress on my Iron Man suit. This is my first project like this, so I thought I'd try and log everything so anyone who's getting started can have a single point of reference. I will be updating these posts as I progress. I will also reference all the advice I have received from people I have PM. Thanks all to those who have helped me so far!
