(said with a strong southern draw)...dang, that's some purdy tubin goin on. Looks like Bennyfab knows what he's doin.
From what I can see, BENNY, I think that cross support behind the cab is about 1/16th of an inch off center....hahaha, just kiddin.
I'd like to see you dent that all up now Clay. Looks good,
CHRIS

yeah, i'm still waiting for some redneck to say, "dang, that's a sweet roll bar"...
any of the "fitment issues" or just flat out crooked tube you can blame on me... just ask benny about my less than spectacular coping/mitering/notching skills, "don't worry about that 3/8" gap there, just try and weld it shut, it'll hold".

Actually, it's 5/64ths of an inch off, but who's counting.
Clay did do most all the tube fitting and what not. While some of it was less than spectacular there were some other parts that he did very well that I was pleasantly surprised with. The overall look and uniformity came out nice and that's what makes it visually pleasing. It will look pimp and very original when the bed portion is skinned up with something. Also needs a BennyFab sticker.
Clay, reminder to get me some of those other photos you took. And is the mud festival stuff done yet? I keep forgetting to ask ya.
