Just remember, if you are going to weld, do not wear shorts!

Silverback

How about don’t wear nylon gym shorts while sitting under the gas tank welding relocation brackets as your first welding project and get tired of the sparks so you put a towel in your lap which ends up catching fire…

Millermatic 180, Victor Oxy/Acectylene torch setup, working on refurbishing an old plasma cutter for the garage. I waited so long for the welder and torch, but when I started to get serious on the Model A frame for my '25 roadster I really needed them. Just added: an old school aircraft tubing bender!

Does anyone know of a heavy guage tubing bender for cages, and chassis tubing that wont kill a bank account? I have a tubing bender now but it's only good for brake lines, and quad/golfcart nerfbars and bumpers. Works great for thin-wall stuff, won't come anywhere near close to bending structural steel tubing.

http://www.jd2.com/shop/ is pretty much the standard for DIY bending, from what I've read. Over on Pirate4x4, there's a lot of owners of the JD2 benders. JD2 is about the "cheapest" of the decent benders (again, from what I've read). Go browse over at pirate4x4.com, they do a lot of rollbar (whole truck, actually) fabrication.

IMO it's good to stick with a common name bender, so that you know that you can get dies in the future if you need a different size. Dies certainly aren't cheap, and an off-brand bender - if you can't find the right die for it - does you no good. The dies are as important as the bender itself.

And don't discount the usefulness of bending software. Pretty cool stuff.

For those of us in southern California if your fortunate enought to live by a harbor frieght, they always have anything and everything you need, you can't walk in there without spending a couple hundred dollars worth of tools, granted none of it is snap-on or cornwell quality, but let's face it most of us can't afford a 40 thousand dollars worth of tools, but for the average enthusiest that needs a tool you can usually find it at harbor frieght, they're tools that are good enough for the job and cheap enough to replace when u break them, cause we all know how it feels to have a rachet that skips it's teeth before we're done or have a puller bolt bend, my hats off to harbor freight tools!

To "silverback" have you ever removed a t56 with a Jack and a cooler lid? Haha, I had to r&r my tranny and I didn't have a tranny Jack, loads of fun, I also had to pull the motor for a 383 swap and the fbodies sub frame connected had to be 37 inches of the ground to drop the motor from under it, I built stands out of two by fours, set my Jack stands on top maxed out, unbolted the subframe connecter and lowered the motor onto a moving dolly, left the car in the air strapped to the cherry picker with tie downs, smooth install!! Lol ;D

Page Structure goes, Navigator Hyperlinks, Navigator Pathway, then theres my website content however, my "Slogan" and "Company Name" which i have used as big text banners, appear over my content, therefore overlapping the top area of everything. I hope this is just something temporary cause i only recently (8th July) purchased the domain and there might be some settings issues. My primary site works fine when uploading, its just my addon which does not like banners. I have tried different themes and different projects even to see if it shows banners but it does not.
