Table worked out nice got the main hoop bent up I used the floor to lay it out an find the angles worked out nicely. Bend tech not needed when u can use a framing square an a piece of chalk ha woulda been easier though

Got the main hoop bent an notched to the sliders gonna tie into frame later. Just tack welded it in till I get the rest done so I can pull it off an weld it up easier
 
Got the rock anchor "gas tank" removed an started on the inside work of the bed. Bent two 90s an tied into the frame an cut out a piece of diamond plate to fit so I'll have somewhere to mount the tool box an fuel cell
