Shocks & dies

Shocks and tube bending die showed up today.


These are Fox 2.0 Emulsion 14" coilovers. It was tempting to get the external reservoirs but I just don't need them for this rig. Shock leaning against front fender.



Against rear fender.


I was hoping to get a good portion of the rear cage done but by the time I was ready to dig in it was pretty late and didn't want to wake the neighbors with my chop saw..
Rear speakers in the way of the rear roll hoop.

Fixed.


Knockout tool. These things are great for making really round holes in thin sheet metal. Pilot hole in the background. These are the holes for the main structure to pass through and tie into the frame.



Notice how the hole is cut perfectly through the flange of the cross brace.



Pro-tools 105 mounted to the floor. Nice bender, works just like my old JD2.


Test bends to determine the bend reduction and spring back.




49 days...
