Well, not a ton of updates, but here are a few pics...
Received my POB bracket from captainFab on OFN. Pretty sweet bracket, and necessary when doing multiple bends... I have already used it enough to make it worth twice what i spent on it.
Got the tubes bent for the fenders.
Finally got my shop PC going to run the bend-tech software... nice to have it close to operations now.
Put in a few more supports here and there, side and bottom of front fender...
Then, as I am bending the grill hoop, this happens "CHINK!!!"
I was so pissed. A blessing in disguise i guess, as it was 3:00 a.m. and i had already drank too much beer. So today i called JD2, and they told me they had fixxed that problem, and that it was happening quite a bit. My die is at least 2 years old, so it wasn't covered under warranty, but they did sell me a new full block for below their cost (he says). They made the holder wider to distribute the load better. Should arrive next week. So, only straight tubes being put in this weekend, oh well.
Really good customer service tho on JD2's part.
