Progress on the sliders...
Here they are:
Heres what happens when someone opens a door and lets a draft in, blow the shielding gas away from the weld and it looks like this
Heres what the bends ended up looking like from the muffler shop

There is no way he will fit 35s... maybe on the street for looks, but you will rub like a mofo.
Nice looking sliders though! Those bends suck, what happened there? Does nobody have a mandrel bender in boone or something?

I spent 80 on steel like a month ago and the prices have higher since then. Plus these things have been alot of trouble making the double angle miter cut for the outer tube was a bitch and then the support tubes were a pain as well. Plus i wont have access to a mig, plasma cutter, and chop saw after next tues. The bends were done at a muffler shop. I didnt want to have to pay to get them bent so i took what i could get. Plus i dont think it will affect their performance one bit.

I went to the Charleston Forge warehouse right below my apts and talked to a guy. He said he would do both of them for $30. I think thats pretty cheap.
