Tomarrow I will start the bender stand.

you are gonna have a stumpy thumb like I got on my left hand... my stump is a full 3/4" shorter than the other hand

 

[Skyetone]

you are gonna have FUGLY bends... Your first bending project? Whats with the thumb? Now I guess I need to come borrow you a tape eh...... yea just to do the video... Or a project buildup.... Did that thing even have any REAL damage? sad to see a perfectly good body die like that. At least my toy was rusty anyways.....

Oh jeez, you just couldn't leave well enough alone could you? Oh Brother. Hey Shawn I've got some 1/2" concrete anchor bolts you can use to mount the bender if you want.

Sweet.

I would consider bracing your stinger like this though:

JMO.

 

[Shawn]

There will indeed be more tubing, I have only just began...

 

[Shawn]

That was my first ever bend with the new bender. I sure did learn a few things, One, Need hydrolics (sp) that is a lot of work. Two, need to bend more, Three, I'm so giddy

 

[Shawn]

Oh ya, I need to beef up the bender stand.

I was using 8+ feet for bar to bend with

Shawn,
I met a guy yesterday with a FJ40. Full width axles, coil suspension. If I can find a photo of his rig, I'll send it to you.

It was his maiden voyage. Bright red paint job. He removed his fenders and tubed it out, but didn't really build new fenders, so it still has the look that your rig has right now.
