Hey hey hey....its on the list lol
It works....86% of the time

 

[1970worthog]

All done.

 

[TheBeast_88K5]

Looks great, Dan!

 

[1970worthog]

Thanks. I might do it to the rear also but with mor protection on the sides too.

Also started on the cage. Itll be slow and for now just a roll bar setup but will eventually turn into something like chris'( adding a lil at a time)

 

[1970worthog]

Started on the cage. Itll be a slow build for now but at least its started right.

 

[NorCalKid]

Sorry about all the ****ty welds

 

[1970worthog]

No worries. Its a good start for me none the less

So is your rig done yet

 

[NorCalKid]

Yeah i feel ya there.

 

[TheBeast_88K5]

Logic denotes that I should sell my K5, and use the cash for an economical 4-door.
But... I am one illogical SOB, sometimes...

Cage looks great Dan!
What material?

If one of you bender-owners wants to bend me up the "main section" of a cage,
I'd gladly pay...

 

[1970worthog]

Haha i lucked out with my s10 and my gfs frontier so i get to keep my k5 lol

As for material, I couldnt say. Its Norcal kids old cage that im reusing but altering to fit

My boss bought the pipe bender from HF which has me thinking of getting a die and modifying it to do tube.

 

[NorCalKid]

What material?

The b-hoop is the stock '73 "roll bar" which from what I can tell is .12 wall 2" HREW. The a-pillars were a smittybilt weld on kit for a 73+ so I am not sure if he is going to use them. The rest is 1.75" .12 wall HREW with a bunch of dumb kid welding thrown in

 

[TheBeast_88K5]

Say that three times, fast....

Good deal.
Cant wait to see where this goes...

this is good to know. Ill be reusing most of it minus the a pillar bars since they just wouldnt play nicely with my windshield frame

 

[TheBeast_88K5]

"A" is the main, correct?

 

[NorCal_Chris]

"A" is the main, correct?

A is windshield so yeah

 

[TheBeast_88K5]
