Hydraulic Bump Stops on the Baja Bug???

A crazy twist of events installing my hydraulic bump stops led me to stop dead in my tracks. Being able to pivot in design is important for a custom build. Some pivots are for the better.

  • @hotroddevils5031
    @hotroddevils5031 9 днів тому

    You always need your head "in the zone" when bending tubes, it can be easy but at the same time impossible. Things we don't do everyday, especially bending tubing, can easily overwhelm our brains, and tubing is expensive. Having said that, you're doing a really nice job. I'm still debating my cage design in my head (and on paper) so it's nice to watch you and the Binder Builder start your cages ahead of me...giving me ideas and motivation!

    • @MiahsBug
      @MiahsBug 9 днів тому
