Mordachai · 09-25-2008, 02:48 PM

Nothing like a custom built part!

Welcome to this forum!! Thanks for the complement especially since headers and there parts to build them is your business!! I was curious if you got all of your manderal bends in? When i ordered my parts I spoke to a gentleman and they told me that you were just getting them in. I am going to need some more 2 1/2 bends 16g bends and I would like to try your guys manderal bends. I also need 2 or so more v-band clamps. Thanks and talk to you soon!!

That was no gentleman, that was me!

We're going to have two different quality levels of individual bends, standard and show quality. Unfortunately the show quality will be much more expensive. The standard quality are perfect for 90% of the builds out there. We also have packaged builder kits with a variety of bends that save money from buying individual bends. The first offerings should be up on the website in about 2 weeks, maybe sooner. The new v-band clamps are really popular. They are also available in two different versions, standard and a lightweight race version.

Josh,
Yet another nice addition to the build. Are you going to have them ceramic coated?

Hey Daniel! Yeah they are going to be ceramic coated but i am hoping for something different besides that shiny chrome color. I haven't done my homework and seen what else they offer. Thanks for the complements.

abadsvt · 10-08-2008, 03:43 PM

Thanks for the complements guys! It helps keep me going and motivated!!!

I was able to get some more exhast done. I still have to weld it up but the exhaust that is underneath the cab is all ran. Now I have to order a few more bends to make it over the rear axle. I should have a few more parts showing up the next few days so hopefully some more things done this week and weekend. Here some pics

Josh

**Hart_Rod** · 10-08-2008, 05:29 PM

Looks great Josh. You've almost got the hard part done.......

.

kyull67 · 10-08-2008, 05:57 PM

Lookin' good as always.
Here's a picture of the exhaust on my truck through the rollpan. I know yours isn't a stepside but you get the idea.

yfz450_0569 · 11-07-2008, 12:43 AM

Could you post up or pm me some pics of the from rack and pinion set-up? I'm having problems with my tie rod ends attached to the steering arm on the spindle, the ball joints don't seem to have enough movement
