A good design without fenders. You could skin something like this and it would look pretty good.

dstrbdone · 05-21-2009, 12:37 PM

I like the look of this one the main thing I was thinking about doing is run a hoop at the base of the window and straight down the front of the door to the slider. Thanks again for the pics..

here is the steering valve mount.

mostly stock · 05-26-2009, 11:18 PM

Almost finished with the drivers side firewall repair.

mostly stock · 05-26-2009, 11:21 PM

Went to start on the other side and figured if I was there anyway might as well clean up the rest of the firewall. But that means the motor had to come out. One step forward eight steps back.

mostly stock · 05-26-2009, 11:23 PM

After being smashed in and welded to this part had to go.

dstrbdone · 05-27-2009, 07:57 AM

Here we go again!!!

I know I know. I am just happy that I have a shop to work in this time.

Now Mark remember this pic. Both our trucks went under the knife about the same time. It has been 6+ years and not to mention that I now have around 60,000 miles on mine since then. The truck is looking great but I am beginning to wonder if you are afraid to finish it.

Yes thats your runner in the background

I try my best. oh and thanks again for the tools..

mostly stock · 05-29-2009, 10:53 PM

Ok back to work. Here is the start to the patch.

mostly stock · 05-29-2009, 10:58 PM

Also got a couple new toys. Found this baby at an auction for almost nothing. Fresh coat of paint and she looks close to new.

mostly stock · 05-29-2009, 11:02 PM

And if you notice when I was pulling the motor I was using a comealong (bad idea) I picked up a chain hoist (much safer)

mostly stock · 06-10-2009, 07:32 PM

filled in some of the extra holes and put on a coat of paint.

mostly stock · 06-23-2009, 11:04 PM

set the motor back in place, now it is time to start some tube work.

mostly stock · 06-23-2009, 11:10 PM

Here is my homemade bender from plans off the internet. The only thing that I changed is the ram I installed a air over hydro. And here are some pics of the test bends. Trent showed me how to do this awhile back not sure if I understand completly yet but time to give it a shot.

TRoss · 06-24-2009, 10:38 AM

Cool.. how do you like the control of the air/hyd?

brinner · 06-24-2009, 11:07 AM

It is the only way to go!! I was a little worried that it would have a jerky pull to it but no problems at all, plus it beats having to jack it by hand or even worse using the other style bender and pulling on a bar all day long.

Got the plans off ebay, but I just checked and do not see it listed. I got the plans a long time ago and just got around to building it just a little while back. I will keep looking.

As far as cost, I have around 50 in steel and the ram was about 60 bucks or so..
