That bike pic is what I posted up on the Zu forum...I would like to see him ride it around. Pretty close to Harley quality.

Update************ I did get the new welder's mask that self darkens..worth every penny. On sale at Harbor Freight for 40 bucks. Anyway, I got the tower pieces cut and one side welded on. Here is where I am at, it is way too hot, and I sliced my leg open on the 16ga plate, which is around 3/32". That is one thick razor blade,didn't hurt at first, but now...it stings a bit. I will weld the other 2 on tomorrow, and bend some sheet metal again. Hopefully I can post something up for ya'll to really see. Still not sure about the gap, but eh, I am quite proud of myself. My welds today were a bit rough, but I managed to lay down a sweet bead about 3" long that was perfect!!! I am getting better fo sho.
I also added a pic to show the upgrade to 5/8" pins vice the original 3/8". This thing is cock diesel.

That way if I roll it, I can get one good picture with it right side up. I am optimistic about these things, I do need to take it off and get rid of the white background, I was just screwing around a few weeks ago and kind of forgot about it...

PEANUT BUTTER KID--- I like it and it's not upside-down. It's the "sister" company of Nissan, it clearly reads: NZNSI

Alright, finally some more real progress, I at a crossroads right now, doing the 45 degree weld fit up is harder than I thought. On a good note, my measurements and cuts are perfect. I went to weld up the cross bar, and it was a perfect straight line!!! I discovered that my grill insert brackets are not straight, so in the pics, it may appear that the grill is crooked, that's cause it is. You can see the angle iron that goes across the center, I have a piece cut to go on top of it to fill in the hole, the enamel is drying right now. The crossbar and towers worked out great, I can walk on it, and it isn't going anywhere, I am catching slack on the planetisuzu site, they think I should use 3/8" plate for everything. Apparently they use their bumpers as rock plows. But seemings how mine is still a daily driver, not a trail pig, and if the front of the bumper is hitting rocks, then you can't climb it anyway, you will just dig a hole behind you, I am happy with it, and can always upgrade later. There is this magic machine called a "grinder". The perfect mistake fixer
I am waiting on paint to dry, but I am done for the day, unless I get crazy after taking the kids to the movies!!
Enjoy, and let the real flaming begin.
