[QUOTE="crash2, post: 1084942, member: 15940"] So here is the progress as of late--I hope your lil boy likes it. I tried like heck to keep the origional lines/look of the MB on the nose. It ended up being some tough bends, a couple of the down portions of the bends ended up not being square with each side due to the tub--but you wouldn't know it unless you cross measured. So in any case I figured where the main support bar was going to land on the frame--had to lop off the lil tabs that go from the tub to the frame(will have to replace them--no biggy) and went and plated the frame on both sides [IMG]http://rdsd.com/albums/album21/gmb79.jpg[/IMG] And here is where the tube nails it.. [IMG]http://rdsd.com/albums/album21/gmb80.jpg[/IMG] I am also going to use this spot for the A pillar when it comes time to do the cage since the body supports on the tub for the front of the tub are pretty bad.. So when I ran the main support bar--it hugs the fron of the tub---landing right at the outer edge. At the same time I made tabs to help support that are of the tub.. [IMG]http://rdsd.com/albums/album21/gmb81.jpg[/IMG] And here are how the fenders turned out [IMG]http://rdsd.com/albums/album21/gmb82.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://rdsd.com/albums/album21/gmb83.jpg[/IMG] The main support bars turned out perfect as the nose fits down snug between them--will make mounting/supporting it really nice. Plus I will run a bar under the hood behind the nose to help hold the rad when that time comes. Also there are no supports for the fenders yet--will run another cross bar once the motor is back in and room is figured out... [/QUOTE]
