finally finished the hydro bender project that's been distracting me from working on the car... thanks Brad for the cylinder and spool valve, and :flipoff2: Brad for painting them pink before giving them to me...

The color is kind of growing on me. think I'll leave it. :smokin:

power pack was $150. hoses and fittings were $100. the cylinder and spool valve were part of a barter deal. the cart is made from metal I had lying around.

If you don't mind me asking, how much did all the hydraulic do-dads set you back? Getting tired of running over to the race shop every time I need to bend something thicker than .188.

2" X .188 is pushing the limits on a JD2.

yeah yeah I know... I'll be getting back to it soon. I have a shop now where I'm keeping all my bolts, etc. that I sell. Its right by my work, which is nowhere near my house, so there's no way I'm going to be there every night like I was when I was doing this out of my garage. Instead, I'll be there two nights a week until midnight, and the rest of the time I'll be at home (or I'll never see my family). Then, on the nights when I'm home, I can work on the rig after everyone goes to sleep. I just have to grind quietly. :D

The garage has room to work, finally. I need to finish painting the mill, and that project will be done..Then I have to put a bunch of stuff away in two new drawer cabinets that I found on CL (remember the original point of this nuts & bolts business was so I would have a supply in my garage for my projects)..... I have a couple of other ones I want to do around the garage (run a couple more circuits to the south side, where I've moved all the sanders and grinders, plus run a hard airline over there) but they're not critical (extension cords and hose do work, even though they're ugly).

The cool part is, now that project 2.0 has restarted, it'll be finished in a week. :smokin:

if only that were true anymore... i think those days are behind me... My lofty goal now is to just chip away at it a bit at a time.

That wouldn't happen to be because you took it elsewhere to be worked on, would it? :flipoff2: HA! HA!

HAH! I've actually made a little more progress, just need to post up the pics. I got a cortizone shot in my low back today, hopefully in a couple of days working on this thing will become a little less "interesting"
