Looks Nice Jim! 8)

Did you get a Lever type bender or did you get the type that uses die's?

Im in the market and was'nt sure if the lever type could handle C/M
what do you think?

Are You gonna run Ubly's deal this year?


I actually modified the large 3" die of this unit
Image
Took and put it in the lathe and machined a 1/2 grove in the center to create a mandrel die, it works great, but I have not tried CM in it yet, but it pulls MS real nice. You can catch this unit on sale at Tractor Supply with their online 10% and 20 % coupon. I paid $69.99 for mine.

I am racing all Ubly big money races and some club days. I am also going to the Drivers meeting on the 7th and talk about some other type classes like index and other.

Also going to run the Milan Saturday Shootout Indexes. Then going to Norwalk in July for the Ford's at the Summit.

Jim

So I guess this summer I shouldn't leave it in the sun with the windows up, eh? Solder will get soft and the tubes will fall off? :shock:
Gee thanks guys.

Great job Jimmy, looking forward to seeing the finished product

Congrats Kenny looks like your going to have a very nice Big Fish in a little pond.

Jimmy I think I may need to find another good roller and move all my hardware over to it once you do another cage job :wink: :wink: :wink: :idea:
