Looking to possibly set up the oven tomorrow for powder coating. If you have something you went me to put powder on for a trial let me know. Even an unfinished part in case I have to work some bugs out.

So since my Bronco will likely become a rolling showcase for the products I'm making I figure I'd better make them easy to spot...
so... bright orange it is then!;D

and here's a peek at what's coming up...

someone asked me about the possibility of making a single rear shock mount similar to a couple designs out there no longer being produced.
I had actually been thinking about doing something like that for my Bronco for a while but just kept putting it off.
so now that I had an excuse to get working on it, here's a look at the prototype tacked together....

Very nice, yet another thing you make that I now want a pair of.

They look like there would be no need to cut for clearance with a 2 inch body lift.

Are those duff long arms. Or did you make your own?
yes, they are Duff's

Thanks! my Bronco has a one inch body lift and requires just a little trimming to clear, so a 2" plus should not need any cutting.

So I guess I will fire up the powder coating this weekend and we will have to look through the catalog of available colors so that you can "trademark" you products via specialty color. :cool:
