quarter wings
yeah ! In order to make them straight you would have to come out farther anyhow, as the body has a slight curve to it, I put a silght angle to the quarter gaurds and it does'nt seem to wide ? also I too believe that the angle would have less chance to be pressed into the body. Whatever you flavor though - right?

quarter protection bends
Yeah I know!! My bender does'nt like the big stuff either. I actually bent the main die supports on it.I tried to bend 2" .188 wall DOM. it did it but not willingly.The other tricky part is the corners
Have been toying with any diff. protection or pinion/joint protection ?
I got a couple ideas. will post pics soon. PM'd Woody and will hopefully get to be a supporter/vendor soon. Website almost ready as well. Keep up the great fab work.I love seeing other ideas!!

Thanks!

it kicks back perfect and the front of the springs makes for exellent foot rest.

I had the strong man bender for a while, but finally got a hydro. Life is much easier now and I don't hesitate anymore to do the tube work like before !!!

i'm thinking it needs some expanded metal on it.
some side protection and a couple cup holders.
red cruiser sat in it and about went over backwards
a wheelie bar or some stoppers are in line for the next mod
edit: if you need something to do with your old skyjacker springs
Your Chair needs a beverage holder.
