Awesome build, top notch attention to detail.

I was wondering how you did the frame rail bends. It looks like you notched the top/bottom and re-welded, but what did you use for the actual bending? Did you heat the AL or bend it cold? Heat and pull in with straps or a porta-power?

This may be question from an amateur, but how do you determine the center of gravity in a Top Gun? Do you attempt to position it over the center axle?

Once it is cut or notched, it moves very easy
