thanks guys.. . yea the bender is working awesome.... the more I get to use it the better it seems to work..
i had a stupid moment yesterday.. I found that my spare tire (35 baha claw) set up on four jackstands makes a perfect height portable table so I took it to the yard and was doing my cuts on the sheet metal and then I noticed I smelt burnt rubber and thought thats odd but it was the end of a cut so I didnt think much of it for about 5 secs and then realized my tire was under there.... good thing the cutting blade was worn down real low and only knicked the outside of the lug... but the sad thing is I didnt check clearances before I started cuttting.... total rookie mistake...

LOL ur right blazer... the wife wants to have her jeep painted black anyways... I couldnt find a red match let alone faded... I dont have any good paint sources here, but black is easy to touch up...
Thanks bonz... trying to make sure their done right the first time...

The front looks awesome. I like the way it rolls down and too the side .. Very nice. I do like the flat fender look but.... There is some one near bye that has it. It will be nice to see the back done..
