Back To Working On The Rig
Well, last weekend I took a much needed break from working on the cruiser and went to a SoCal M&G in the local San Diego mountains. What a relaxing weekend hanging out with fellow cruiserheads. https://forum.ih8mud.com/ca-socal-80s/611711-official-2012-m-g-photo-thread.html
Since I was taking a weekend off, I decided it was the perfect time to get my new windshield installed. I had a body shop do it because they welded in the donor A Pillars I hacked off of a 95 that was being parted out. They did an awesome job for me!
Today my buddy and I got the "bolt-on" BIO sliders I have, welded to the frame. Then I made a much needed repair to a "goof" from last time. The cage was 2" too low as the height it was to be cut was taken from the top of the tube instead of the bottom. It was an easy fix - cut all 4 risers, insert a 12" x 1.75" sleeve, add 2" x 2" spacer, and weld back together. After that, we started the PS A pillar bar. What a PITA as this piece of tube was as it has 5 different bends. At least the other side should be easier since I have a template now. Here are a few pics:
