We're almost overwhelmed by the info on this site, which we just found a few days ago.

This thread has answered every question we were going to ask, and now you have answered it for us.

HERE'S THE QUESTION WE WERE GOING TO ASK-

Looking to buy our own Tubing Bender for the next Race Car buildup.

Doing our own 14/16 Point Cage, suspension modifications, exhaust (?), and will split the cost of whatever we purchase with at least 2 other 'Car Nut' friends here in town. One is one of the greatest fabricators you could ever meet, the other makes welding look easy, and his knowledge speaks volumes, as he is well sought after in his profession.

On our particular car buildup, we’re tucking the roll cage tight to the body, and most of it would be hidden with the interior installed, so a cage kit from anyone won’t fit.

Anyone have experience with buying a good one??? We need to make sure whatever we buy makes fairly tight radius bends, as the various racing organizations refuse to let you use a bend with the ‘Crimp/Kink’ look in it.

We can post some pics of the rollcage that was built for the '69 El Camino we sold last July, and you can see how the builder had to fabricate everything, as this was a difficult installation.


NOTE: Can we show our main racing website link below our signature, or is that a N0-NO???

MAXX
