Heres a handy formula and just some general tips for tube bending that help me, especially with clocked tubes with multiple bends like the one that turns in behind the cab: - Center Line Radius (CLR) X Degree of Bend (DOB) X 0.017453 = Amount of Tubing Used to Make a Bend ( from tangent (start...

I'm from Alabama, but moved out to Southern California for what was supposed to be a 6 month stay to learn some new things about fabrication, that will be 4 years ago in February. Ended up working with some race shops for a couple years and then started my own thing making Jeep parts (Full Metal...

Not a problem, I don't have any suggestions on the billet motor mounts but they're definitely a good idea. I don't race mine ( because it costs too much $$$, I might do KOH next year if Polaris offers up another new one as the prize again haha), but I have almost 1,500 miles on mine and my buddy...

Been 18 days now, lets see it

Good looking build and nice fabwork. I can tell you about a few weak links on it before you get started and hopefully save you some time testing and fixing broken stuff on an assembled car where things are in your way; the factory sway bar mounts, the factory front A-arm mounts, and the chassis...

My first year was 2011 as a spectator and I've been every year since and it doesn't seem to have gotten any smaller to me. I'll be setting up as a vendor this year and its definitely worth it for me but I only live 30 minutes from Pomona. Personally, if I was in your position, I think it would...

We have been a dealer for Bulldog Winch for a couple years now and think they have some of the best affordable priced winches on the market, and Bob at Bulldog is good people and trys to give back to the sport where he can. Take a look around their site www.bulldogwinch.com and see if you see...

http://www.interstateplastics.com/index.php good selection here, but depending on what you need shipping may kill it.

"Why would reworks be any more per hour? Its all the same labor, just more of it for a rework. Just because its annoying having to fix someone else's mistakes?" I found this to be rather interesting as well . Wish I could charge different labor rates depending on how much fun the project is...

Smart idea on waiting to break it down until after wheeling season. As for being worried about oiling the chassis, any quality powder coater should be pre-baking your chassis to pull any oils out before it goes to powder. You're going to have impurities in the material no matter what before it...

3/4" UHMW backed by 1/8" 6061 - definitely chamfer the edges -1/8" steel works if you're on a budget and not concerned with weight (at least its down low) but isn't necessary for strength, dimpling the aluminum definitely doesn't hurt. Its just there to provide rigidity to the UMHW -1/2" UHMW...

X2, if you're going to go the bandsaw (horizontal,vertical,portable whatever) route just make sure your saw it set really slow, like 40 to 60 SF/M. It'll take take longer but you'll actually be able to use that blade on the second one :dblthumb: . To build on Elliot's paper method, I like to...

X2 on purging it with exhaust from a vehicle. I wasn't so sure about it either until I saw it done. It was a small motorcycle tank, but I was pretty amazed to see it being welded on within 20 minutes of pulling it off of a running bike. Just used a hose off a vacuum duct taped to a tahoe's...

Re: First ever buggy build Really like what you did with the "deck lid" tubing, changes the look of the whole rear of the buggy. thumb.gif

Hardline, A quick introduction for ourselves: We are Full Metal Fabworks LLC, a new vendor here, but not new to the site or wheeling. We have several products developed, or in the development process, that we will be releasing as we get them ready for production. We are based out of Southern...
