Thanks once again for the compliments.
Still going at it. Got some more pics for your enjoyment
I sat down with the old calculator and computer for a bit and figured out the main cage. Bend Tech is an easy to use program, but the way mine works (EZ 3D) for trying to figure out real life measurements needs a lot of work, IMHO. After a lot of deciphering their user manual, head scratching, pre-calculus, and measuring/re-measuring, I finally came up with something that should work.
Broke out the old bender and went to town. Pretty much took an entire day to bend 2 hoops...
I wanted to get the front hoop a little lower than the rear to make it look a little meaner. I also wanted the hoops as wide as possible, so I cut holes in the rockers and quarters to fit the main hoops through. Here they are sitting in place.
