Ok guys here's an update...I got a few parts back from powder coat today...top row is my frame rail brackets for my gooseneck hitch... Middle row is all the components for my rear overload air ride(air bags are still in transit)...and bottom row are my new bottom ubolt plates that i built that accommodate my traction bar mount(frame mounts and bars I am still fabbing up)...oh and the color looks pretty bitchin against the charcoal gray...well IMO anyways!

Everyone loves pics right?... Got my steps built tonight along with matching hitch step as well...now just need to get them powder coated...along with my hitch and front tow hooks and front skid plate....they are all getting painted the color of the body...my powder coat guy has a color almost identical to the body color...

Got my air bags for my overloads...top bracket straddles the frame while the bottom bracket cups the axle with a ubolt...gonna get these installed tomorrow...

Oh thanks man...more just a hobby...I worked at a steel shop for 8 years running a press brake and plate shear so that always made things easy...

I really enjoyed it...it was fun to me...I miss it almost everyday but had to go with the railroad!... One day I will get my own...even if its just a small 6 or 8 footer... I ran a 2006 14' 400 ton accurpress...we got a 2012 26' 1500 ton Cincinnati 6 months before I quit...and its set up for tandem(flip a switch and two separate 26' machines will run together as one 52 footer)

All we have is a 20 year 10' Cincinnati brake but we do have a hypertherm burn table and our shear is only a 10' also but the boss said I can make almost anything I need

Ya we had a Cincinnati laser with dual 8' x 20' tables(can be loading/unloading one while the other is cutting)...that's the machine that I have all my parts cut on...and I am good friends with the programmer so its pretty easy to get an idea in my head and work with him to get the parts cut...and they still let me doy own bending(as long is just some small jobs) so that's nice too!
