Glad to hear that Mr. Ed was doing a good job as supervisor. That guy can supervise with the best of them.

Tim, I told you not to say anything, my reputations ruined now. It's going to take years to get it back.

i was hoping to sell the bumpers to get some cash to buy stuff for the build such as oil, atf, gear lube, gaskets, seals, brake fluid, misc. electrical wiring, fittings, welding consumables, etc.

Tim,

I'll send you $250 to help with some of this soft cost stuff. Send me a paypal address or I can mail you a check.

Diane braided it up before i lit it like a fuse. :fuse:

if i ever offer to install another set of unibody stiffeners just shoot me in the head with a bazooka!

i got the stiffeners & cross member all burned in. my arm has about 100 burn marks in it from popping slag. no matter how well you prep the rails, there will always be galvanizing left over that wants to pop when you weld over it.
that part really sucks.

 

[Rammin97]

I will post pics and specs in the morning.

 

[macgyvr]

Take any pics today?

Even cell phone pics.

Also, knuckle need you to stop by the giveaway forum for a question on bumpers please.
