combine was down yesterday so i got to do some work after school on the buggy, i got the rear end capped, i brazed/migged it. i'll take some pics tonight if i can, i'l gonna grined it down flush so i get a smooth edge in case i have to crawl under there for some reason or another, but once that is done tack it to the floor pan and start welding in support tubes like a mad man :mad: don't worry its a good mad :D
also looks like a new grinder may be needed the old crapsman is starting to live up to its name. also if anyone has used JW harris did you have problems with the wire kinking and bird nesting
:confused:

finally understand the undebars on it now. i e-mailed em last night and i got a e-mail back saying i had to order a trannymount with another set of holes drilled in for the uner bars, and you know what tops it off, it comes standard on all moldels except mine and a other couple,i don;t mean to tick of berrien or anybody but don't you think if they were going to have a certain type of mount they would have it part of the deal, they want 20 bucks for it to. :eek: but i want to get it done so i going to most likely weld on a couple of tabs where they are supposed to be and drill em out

I'm about to start building my winter project which is a buggy. Does anybody know where I can find a good set of plans for a tubing bender?

Check out the Ornamental Iron Yahoo group. There is all kinds of good stuff on benders, ring rollers, brakes, benders...
