And look @ that clean garage floor. I'm jealous.

Thanks for the pic Tom. I was about to snap a pic of my dogs cage just so we would have a cage pic on here.
I have seen Clints in person, it's lookin great

Smartest tool my money can buy, really very affordable considering what it allows you to do and the time savings. Just need a 12 ft ceiling.

The only problem with clean is that it takes time. A good clear coat on the concrete pays for itself real quick.

If I'm not mistaken the rear set from a Chrysler minivan would fit in between the rear wheel wells. You just have to fab up a mount for it.

Recovered in black vinyl that might work:hhmm:....not recovered could possibly equal total :hillbilly:.
Phil, Do you know someone who has done this? That seat has to be a dime a doz at a junk yard.

Talk to Rod, the guy who I am doing the 43 cage for now. He said something about putting a bench in his 43. I think he said econoline van....thats way better than a caravan seat. I would try to find a low back bench, so it doesnt look so funny.
 
Three coats of powder coat later.......

It's hard to tell from the pics.

Do you have a sufficient straight bar from front to rear at the top?

If not, we'll be winching you off of trees when you get them jammed between the bars.

I figured the 2 angled tubes on each side will push the trees off. I marked in red what I visualize the path of the trees to be. With that, if I am still being winched off trees, I won't be very many times because I would be adding tubes.

Finally finished this SOB!! Some of the welds for the frame tie are a bitch to get at. Some one needs to make a trick bendable weld gun for tight spots that also has a small built in light that won't blow up from weld splatter.
Anyway, moving on down the priority list, won't get to everything but I will be ready enough.

Someone just told me that if I welded on my frame and didn't diconnect the battery that I probably cooked the battery. If this is true tell me now to help lesson the blow from when I get home from work tonight!!
