    I think you need some more meat around the cylinder mount on the main frame. Looks pretty thin through there.

    No just a jack of all trades I've been messing with CAD for years now and I'm still trying to figure out the TorchMate CAD but I'm getting the hang of it :D


    No shit man I was reading that thread and said hell I could build one of those and a lot less then buying one and doing 15 bends per skid is kinda a bitch on my little hand power brake.

    Here it is with the legs and tooling the way it's set up now it's got just under a 3" stroke. I think I'm going to make it a little taller or shorten the punch a little. I'd like to have as least a 6" stroke for those tight bends. I also split the punch holder into 3 sections for easy tooling removal.

    Got it welded up and then just because I got a new one, I played with a flapper wheel to make it look like one piece of metal.

    This is camburgs, I was thinking the ability to remove the battery without unbolting the whole top would be nice.. or I might just do it like that

    its ok. gotta start somewhere. i would rather see a rear mounted battery first in a truck that is being slowly built compared to the goons that get the TT bulge glass first and the rest of the truck is dead stock.
