Well, 11 of the 12 bolts that hold the door hinges onto the door posts would not come out without breaking. Spent the better portion of half a day drilling the old bolts out and chasing the threads in the door posts. The older Broncos used Phillips head bolts rather than the regular hex head bolts. What a pain. At least the bolts were fairly soft and drilled somewhat easily.
After all that I began to bend some tube for a roll cage. Crawdad really wanted my Crab cage, so I'm building a new cage using 2" .120 wall DOM. Stuff is stout! My bender really doesn't like it...
I fabbed up the base plates using 3/16" steel and bent the main hoop. Here are a few pics of the work so far.
