What I really need right now is a fawking metal brake. The usual place that usually bends up my sheetmetal isn't answering the phone. Not really sure what's going on I guess I'll have to drive to the other side of town and see what's up as I'm ready for the tubs

WOW! I've not checked this build for a day or two and I am behind 10 pages.

Like where you are taking the explorer. Just love it. I have a jeep friend that just loves what you are doing to the ex. He built a cherokee similar that I need to find a pic for you.

With everyone buying explorers lately I have been thinking of getting one too.

ill get back to work tomorrow, the water was calling my name

getting the rear fenderwells bent up tomorrow and getting some more 1/8th inch plate to finish up the back.

as much as im kicking myself in the ass over it i think im going to cut the tube back out of the rear fender and raise it up 4 inches. at this point there will only be 6 inches of sheetmetal left i might as well cut the shit out and put in some plate to make it solid back there.

 

[--weezl--]

you're being too lazy, now go do something crazy?...??..



i remember when i raced highschool class (drag racing) there was one school that had a school bus moded as a car carrier and bus... the whole rear end was a lift gate, and had ramps that came out, so they would drive the racecar right in the back of it, put the ramps in, and close the door... then all of the people on the race team would hop in the front and off to the track they went
