Kevin sprayberry offset round end hopper build

Post by Terr1bleone »

After getting good ideas from all of the threads by carl and jack (and others) I've decided to post some of the builds I have been up to.

This is a laser cut and bent kit from kevin sprayberry.

First parts were some 3d printed details while I was waiting for the kit to arrive.

Thought I was doing well here.. till I realized 3 ribs were on the wrong side on each pannel and I cut them to fit.

Easy fix for the tig welder

All fixed now after a full day setback, back to where I was.

The kit calls for 1x2 rectangular tubing for the frame rail.
I decided to dress it up a bit.
