more on the seats today , front brackets I didn't post yesterday drivers seat original mounts cut off , and prepped couple of tacks on the brackets , and a jump up into the seat .. perfect for where I want em For some reason that picture with the tabs almost looks fake. The grinder even looks computer generated

so what hoped would be the last test fit didn't work out ... drivers dump pipe weaved threw the limited space between the brake master cyl. and the steering shaft , and the head .. NICE !! but the crossover , wrapping around the tranny , the flange was just hitting the frame member .. so I have to re do this .. so now with a measurement , I can easily fix this .. a friend of mine also dropped off an old light bar he had sitting around , so I got a little work done on that .. The drivers side kicker "foot" was not welded on correctly , or I actually thing it had 2 Right feet ... don't like it , so I need to fix it ... cut the foot off to re-weld it also noticed a rust hole ... DANG !!! so I cut it with a hole saw , and now I can patch it .... so .. when I'm all don't with the repairs on the light bar , I'm going to chemical treat the inside etching the rust , and then I can dump a slurry of POR15 in side, swish it all around , and seal up the inside .... Will do the POR AFTER I powder coat it though
