made a rollcage today. whole thing took 3, 3ft, 5/16in steel rod. No computers diagrams, no schematics or anything to help me out, no pipe bender. just a torch, a welder, and ALOT of time. I started at 9am when i arrived home from lowes, and just finished welding now at 11pm, still needs to be prepped and painted.
being that i completed the entire thing freehand, i think it came out amazing you guys tell me what you think tomorrow.
if someone tells me where i can get a pipe bender suitable for this type of work, i will make and sell these cages for $70..
the supplies cost about $15... But time is money, and anyone who has made there own cage knows that it takes forever.
these pics are unfinished still.. might leave it might not, already started another to change the spark plug covers and make it a one bend up front instead of two. tube bender on the way
