Ya I cut and flare it all myself. I have a little more than a grand in the tooling to do it.

how thick can you go with those dimple dies? 1/8"?

I can do 1/8" chromoly and stainless, and 10 gauge mild steel. All of those are really pushing the limits of my press though. SO I try to stick with 1/8" for mild and 12 gauge for the rest as the thickest.

I'm thinkin about maybe doin some dimples and sleeved holes when I do the frame on my f250. I might have to have you do some more stuff for me.

I can do 1/2" through 2 1/2" holes, and I have all the precision cutters to make a nice snug fit on the dies for clean straight dimples. Makes it nice.

might be a dumb question but on the wishbone that bushing on the crossmember, will it limit the up-down travel, being sideways like that? or is it a uniball or something?
