Had some free time today and made progress on the cab side hoops. I reversed the order of bends from the original trial hoop in order to alleviate the interference with my bender on the last bend. Also adjusted some of my bends marks to compensate for the material thickness. http://gallery.me.com/prifral/100165...13145035180001 http://gallery.me.com/prifral/100165...13145035200001 http://gallery.me.com/prifral/100165...13145042490001 http://gallery.me.com/prifral/100165...13145035380001 4 hoops - enough to do 2 cabs All thats left is chop, notch and join the ends http://gallery.me.com/prifral/100165...13145034830001 http://gallery.me.com/prifral/100165...13145034820001 This chromoly tubing is a joy to work with - wished it wasnt so heavy:twisted: |
What in the hell kind of bender do you use? Those are some clean bends right there! Looks like a machine did it. |
This is going to be a awesome build to see finished! Ill be keeping a eye on this thread. |

Your bending skills amaze me every time :shock: . Can't wait to see this rig come together. "thumbsup""thumbsup" All your rigs have such clean lines. |
only had time for a couple of notches and brazes tonight http://gallery.me.com/prifral/100165...13146781030001 since all the alignment and measurements from this point on will be based on these two hoops it was very critical to be sure that these hoops be exactly the same in every dimension and absolutely flat when laid down. ill double check the flatness on a surface plate tomorrow. |
You're quite the craftsman prifral. Can't wait to see this build come together. |
o_0 AMAZING.... I just joined to post on this, Mongo has a 502v8 and 18 inches of suspension travel. Just plain awesome work man, I will be watching this one. Autoblog linked inside line's story on it, a couple close up shots in there. http://www.autoblog.com/2011/04/18/v...ast-five-cars/ |

http://gallery.me.com/prifral/100165...13156122920001 When all is said and done the Mongo should be able to carry that Mog on its flat bed:) We've also been working on our hilux bracket. This is our first proto on Jensen's rig. It ended up way too thick and rigid http://gallery.me.com/prifral/100165...13156122680001 This is our second go. Less carbon fiber = just the right amount of flex http://gallery.me.com/prifral/100165...13156122790001 So yeah when your jet lag wears off - WE CRAWL! |
What kind of bender do you use? |

Did you use a top hat section (roofing beam) for the mould? |
