    Nice. I don't know when I'm going to use it but the price was right. When I needed one I was going to but the harbor freight one but I'm glad I got one made in the USA. I'm going to have to get a mangled project to use it.

    If I did this for a living I would loose money. Here is a full 8hr day half a back brace. Spent a lot of time in the templates. One key detail is the ends a lot of the sore bought ones leave a big gap this one I botched that area.

    Took it over to the ch***is shop to
    Get the ends put on. He is going on vacation Friday. So I brought six packs of his favorite beer. Hopefully I will have it back ASAP. I picked up all the goods to put in it this morning. You guys are going to think I'm nuts

    The cross member above the rear end will go away once I get the new shock crossmember in then make the pan hard bar.
