Pipe bending
Right now Im stationed in NC but I come home about every month or so, so I hoope yall dont mind that I post a few of my ???s here every now and then. Does anyone know of a place around there that bends 4" exhaust pipe? I have heard of a truck stop in wheeling that does it but I was hoping for somewhere a little closer to Clarksburg/Fairmont.

Find an electrical contractor that has a power conduit bender. Those things can make bends that look like mandrel bent tubing with the right guy running it.
Watched a guy doing work at the Federal Correctional Institution in Morgantown doing some 6" EMT. My mouth was watering thinking about custom 6" stacks on my truck.

Ive been searching all week in NC and WV but still no luck. I havent tried an electrical contractor yet. I didnt want to do any stacks on this thing but I think it just may be alot easier. Ill have to try a few more places first. I dont know anyone in the electrical buisness so Im not sure if any of them would even want to work with me on something like this.

I could not find a shop in the Charleston area but that does not mean someone can't do that size.

I am a heavy equipment operator right now. I have also driven trucks, electrical contractor, general contractor, residential contractor, built computers, installed computer networks, farmer, sold cars, photographer, mechanic, Autocad drafting, ran a bar, work for the railroad, smoke the neighborhood up with my diesel Ford and ride drag bikes. That is all I can think of right now, but there is more.
I have been to NC many times and have lived all over the USA.
And I guess I better get to sleep, I gotta go plow snow in about 3 hours. We are finally getting some snow.

Be carefull, the snow plows may chase back, they out number you, and you may need a shovel to leave the mall.
A very large shovel.
Messing with snowplows can be bad for your back if you make them mad.
But then when there are people like this driving them, it is no wonder things like that happen.
It might be me....LMAO

We started at 3:00 AM on some other lots, then went to the mall at 4:30 AM and finished there at noon. Then I hit a couple of other lots and was done by 3:00 PM.
Never know when we have to plow, depends mostly on when the storm hits and how much snow we get or are expecting.
Give me a call and I will come down to see the new beast. We can just have another meet and eat by ourselves again.
