It looks good.

Bent up some sliders for Horton. I need to cap them and add a step in the center area. They will be mounted up this weekend. I will be selling these too.

1.5" OD DOM Tubing
.120 Thickness

They kick out and up ever so gently at the back.

Bull I will have to take a drive down to Seattle and see if you or we can come up with a design for the middys HZJ73s and BJ74s. Could be a fair market just a couple hours north. Anyways the sliders look super sturdy and really good . I wish I had the time to do some . Thanks for the post (it is one of the best I have seen in 70series tech in a long time)

Come on down. It would take about a day to come up with a design and get them on the rig.


Thanks for the props..
