Nice.....Like to do something like that for the hood of the L39. It won't take much abuse before the sheetmetal bends.

That top 1/4" bar running across the top of the OEM L39 Brush Guard is worthless.....as I found out when a huge oak rootball I had excavated with the BH and scooped up with the FEL proceeded to roll back into the L-39 nose and put a major dent in that top bar!! /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

I took a three-ton automotive hydraulic jack and stuck it in between the nice round brush guard tubing pipes and managed to restraighten it back to normal. Then I welded a 1/2" X 1/2" solid steel square bar underneath it so that never happens again... /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Nest welding project is an undercarriage skid plate....
