We are having a heck of a time with the power steering lines right now. We need to straighten the lines, then re-bend them to the new path, but the tubing bender we have doesn't want to do the job... frustrating...

You guys are quite welcome!And yes... Rob and ChrisCo are running an alcohol-free work zone. It's the RIGHT (and ONLY) way to work on something like this.
I just wanted to be sure they had something refreshing for the end of the day!

And that you did, my friend. It was a very kind offering to the SAS gods. Since my day ended earlier that Rob and Chris' (those guys are hardcore) I took my "share" home with me to drink in the comfort of my home with no work or driving needed.
Hey, you know what? I would like to have a beer with you, Mark, someday when circumstances work out.

Rock on guys!

So much for quitting heheTrust me, the gesture alone was very much appreciated!

I got the main structure of the hanger welded up, was a little more rusty with the gun than I thought but it's strong as can be even if a few spots are a little ugly.
Tomorrow it gets a bunch of gusseting and becomes one with the bumper. There's a few more pics at that link if anyone's interested. Dang, I guess I'm gonna have to start my own thread here pretty soon...
