If you don't mind me asking how much did it cost to buy the steel and have it bent. I need to re skin my JD550 and I'm trying to figure out if it's cheaper to have one bent up or buy the pre made one that is 1,000 bucks
I don't know exactly what it was. I had some other things done at the same time, I think this was a bit more as it's 3/8 AR 400 vs the thinner cheaper material. This is a bit overkill for this size dozer but I don't have to worry about putting a hole in it pushing against something that I probably shouldn't be anyway 😂
I don't even know the name of the place, it's been bought out a few times but they don't do small jobs like this for individuals typically. I have a family friend who has worked at a place for years that does industrial work for mills and factories and I got him to get it done for me. Said he was thinking about retiring soon, so I will have to find somewhere else to get things like this done if he does. unless he could still get things done through someone he knows.
Maybe some blocking under that Blade , just to be safe

@@LifeWithChase yeah that should make it pretty tough being AR400. Your video made it look easy with it cut into 4 sections
Chase, would you mind sharing who rolled the steel skins? I’m looking for some custom rolled AR steel as well
