Marshall - do we still own a bender?

From what i remember, there was a decent amount of people that wanted to do a slider HAMOM.

Ive been trying to get one of those together for years (Bender HAMOM). Basically someone to show how to use it and we all get together and build stuff. I need sliders and a rear bumper for the truck and a front bumper for the 80. (Dont mind experimenting on the pickup. :bounce2:
 
i've still got tons of tubing from where i had to take apart the damaged trampoline.

If you guys want it you can have it.

We closed on a new house last friday and anything that we don't "need" will be thrown out.

For those of you wanting to do spray in bed liner you might want to check out these guys. I think I'm going with this when I get some of the more pressing maters taken care of. Alot of the guys on the main mud page gave really good reviews of this stuff. Looks really good and you can tint it to match your color if you want.

Let me know when you do the panels, I'm going to be ready for something soon. Also, looked at the Raptor Kit posted by Scott Johnson, might be a good deal for the back of 2 60's. We could probably split a kit, I'm looking at the tintable one so I can do a dark grey to match the carpet.

Stole this from ONSC.

What's on your list to do on your cruiser for the rest of this year and next?

For my 62:

[STRIKE]
install sliders and rear bumper
[/STRIKE]
desmog
new tre's
new O2 sensors
new exhaust
redo the front end alignment to get rid of toe in
rear main seal
new rear drum's
probably alot of other stuff that i can't remember i need to do

Main reason for this thread is that we can use this to schedule HAMOM's. If we can get enough people doing the same thing, we can have a super hamom, similiar the front axle rebuilds we do. Plus, people who've already done alot of these jobs can help with some advice to those who are about to tackle them.

New things:
Rear Pinion Seal
Install rear locker

Alot of the stuff on there has been put on the backburner. Nothing that is in need of being done, but would still like to do it down the road.
