Ok, so after getting the bottle filled and bent over ($62 including tax and fees for a 125???) I got everything going today. Cut some pieces out of a bar I had, the thicker material would have been just too much, so I went with this stuff, though I had to use two pieces, the weld between them was a piece of cake. I used my 6" three jaw chuck as a mandrel and held one end, forcing the other down with my other hand, with springback it came to the exact curve I needed, just barely a nudge by hand to straighten it a touch.



Rough fitup, I beveled all edges prior to welding





And the final product after a grinding and media blasting. The pics in-process didn't come out, I need to start checking pics when I snap them, had grease on the lens...



I had to blast the parts I painted last night, damn paint didn't cure properly and had run like mad, more than I thought.
