Fabrication so I can fabricate

More and more I need a bigger shop.  Project Murderous Overkill takes up so much space I can't use my bender, and I can't move Overkill because it's too tall to fit out of my garage door.


I refuse to buy casters because once it's built the weight of the drivetrain and the finished cage will bring the suspension down enough to clear the garage door.  But the Catch-22 is that I can't build it without the bender.  Sooo, in order to fabricate on the pickup to move it so I can fabricate I whipped up a slick little bender mount for my trailer. The 1/4-inch tabs hug the bender's square tube pedestal mount tightly and the bolt cinches it together.  I'm getting sunburned on the top of my head, but at least I can fabricate again.
