    The design concept that's driving the project:

        JD-2 Model 3 with a homebrew-hydro setup on it.

            Bluesman 2 Rollin

            Very nice roll bar ,looks real clean! Hey bluesman can we see a picture on the hydro on the JD2 bender? Also was up with the bluesman2 name, do you play the guitar or just like old blues music? Where do ya live in Atlanta? I'm originally from Atlanta. The Braves sucked in the playoff games!!! They need to take Sheffield,Castilla,Andruw Jones salary and give it to Giles,Franco, and Derosa

              Echo, here's a link to the full hydro-bender:



              As we've previously discussed, it's a design ripped directly from Pirate 4x4. I believe Morpheus has a similar setup as well.

                    Thanks for the kind words, Jack!

                    I've gotten flashed a couple of times with it, but typically when I'm way out of position trying to reach some crazy joint under the Heep. Considering it was a FRRRREEEEEBBBBBIEEEEE courtesy of Rock and the Secret Agents (see mm251 issues I had a while back), it's phenomenal. I previously had one of the Hobart auto-hoods and these just seem more substantial in their design/heft.

                      that's cool, I remember when you had those probs ...

                      which hood model is it that you have ? is it the premium hood ? which one did you have before ? I need a new one but can't hardly justify the big $'s for a SpeedGlas or Optrel ....

                        that is some outstanding tube work.

                        How did you mount it under the tub?

                          Morpheus: I think it's the premium, it's whatever they were running on their last freebie deal. I can tell you also it has the sensitivity and delay settings on the inside of the helmet, in addition to the shade setting on the outside.

                          Stilgar: it isn't tied to the frame yet, that will be the focus of another project. It will eventually be an 8 point cage.
