upgrade for hellbent

[hellbent40]

Paint is drying ... had to do some tig welding over mig... and then add a few gussets ... will add another bar in front, just above the dash... but need to have it in before i can do that...

Then some POR15, and some hammered silver tremclad.. the hammered affect didnt really work so well but i do like the silver... my whole tub is black.. thats why i chose a silver paint...

cant wait to pull the old one out and put the new to me one in... then i will tie it into the frame...

Looks good.

That the one from Jay that I dragged up from Oregon?
Nice to get it already assembled if so, I only did the front cage kit to my old cruiser, but what a pain in the ass it was to put together.

 

[hellbent40]

yep jays old one... so it was preassembled

Looking good! I heard somewhere that the pre-assembled ones had questionable welds on some of their cages from factory. Good thing you touched it up. How's the new tig?? I'm home for a couple days, let me know if you need a hand loading it up.

Questionable welds indeed.....

 

[hellbent40]

tig is good.. i went over 95 percent of the welds.. tig welding over mig is not fun if anyone is curious

 

[seapotato]

Questionable welds indeed.....

Yeah, probably a good move to redo them eh?

 

[Rigpig]

Questionable welds indeed.....

Thought that might get your attention...lol
I was over at Hellbents a few weeks ago and was asking how you were doing...
Cheers hombre!

 

[hellbent40]

they weren't bad welds, just need a little lovin. I inspect welds all day so if the boys at the shop saw it, I would never hear the end of it.

Two large lads and a cruiser landed on that thing, held up pretty good...They tried climbing a tree with a cruiser, not such a good idea..

 

[hellbent40]

i was there to winch them back over..

 

[slowandsteady BJ]

Ah yes.... Good times. Gawd that was funny.

 

[hellbent40]

Been a year... but final got it in with the help of Dan-O...

 

[slowandsteady BJ]

Sweet.... so is the 40 on the road these days?

 

[hellbent40]

I wish.. work keeps me busy.. here is when I pulled it out of the long sleep.... garage has so much more room...

 

[seapotato]

the long sleep....

Damn, I'd forgotten what your cruiser even looked like...

Did you manage to get it all those fine adjustments done to the mounts?

 

[hellbent40]
