We got the main 3 hoops bent up this weekend with the front (A hoop) tacked in. Talk about a workout!!! apporx 18:1 mechanical advantage (18 ninty degree strokes on the handle = 90 degrees of bend) with a 3' bar still took quite a lot of effort to move.

I have allmost all of the body mounts rebuilt and beefed up and the new body frame is cut and essentially welded in.

Its looking like it will come out pretty nice so far.
