Built a header today.

A little soggy around the farm, so I've been doing a little work on the mud truck, and today was header day.

Looking good there Rob!

you going out the hood with them

Yep straight up. Kinda fun to do, and it gives me a great appreciation for the guys who do this for a living. A big shout out to Tim Murphy from The Fab Shop for answering all of my stupid questions on how to do this. I bought all of the stuff to do this from him at the 09 Tech Seminar, and am finally getting around to putting it together.

Sweet. Lookin good. Cant wait to see it on the truck!

looks great man

Thanks guys. I've alway wanted to do this, and now I'm gonna scratch it off of the bucket list. I got the cage done yesterday and decided to get tackling on this.

looks good so far. i think you may have a slight mis-alignment problem at the flange though

Wanna build me a pair? It'll be real fun and I'll let you do it for free. I will get the tubing for you though. ITS A TRAP!!!

Nothing a little high temp silicone won't fix.

JB weld. as my father in law calls it "mechanic in a tube"

Looks good Rob. Did you use a kit for your roll cage or have one bent for your truck?

I bent up my own cage.

Looks good Rob.

I haven't done much with mine lately. It keeps getting put off til tommorrow

Someday, tomorrow will turn into today. You still coming out here in a couple of weeks?

Looks nice...I have threatened to put a set of uprights on my race car for a long time...sure would make trans and starter swaps easier.

Bet that would get some looks sticking out of the hood of that stang !

I've got a fellow mud racer here that wants me to make him a set of zoomies for his truck next. Should be easy compared to this.

cool deal looking good.

BFH will take care of that misalignment....... Back to work Schmitty !!! We need you to keep us fed !!

Rob, we aren't going to make it out your way. My wife decided we should take care of some medical bills instead.
And trip to the bbf bash wasn't going to happen due to the Nebraska trip.
It all worked out and we are Bash bound thursday afternoon .

Looking good there Schmitty. Sounds like you've been burning some wire.

Sorry to hear that Mike, but you gotta do what is right for the family. Hope you enjoy The Bash, and wish I could come to it and meet you and the rest of the gang, but I can't swing it. Had a close family friend pass away a week ago and his funeral is this weekend and that is a priority to me. Gotta make the hard choices once in a while.

I'm ready to see this truck on the track...

Any past videos?

Yep and a lot more to go yet. Still have the other header, driveshaft loops, and U-joint scatter shields to go yet.
