Bending tubes always creates some scrap, no matter how smart you are. (That's a compliment, believe it or don't.) One of my good friends has been building cages and headers for 35 years. His scrap bin doesn't fill as quick as it once did, but it still fills!

Thanks guys, really a good safety measure. Like i said the car isnt really fast enough to require one by nhra rules. But as you guys know these cars dont have much in the way of body structure!

We got a little bit done on the car today. I got the back hoop and cross bracing all welded it up. I built my brackets that bolt to the frame in the back oh, and we got the front Hoops cut and fitted 100%. Then I tacked those in place. Also got the back brakes on

Multi-talented and highly energetic. Your videos are constantly improving. And the coupe is looking great. Are you sure you are not over budget with it? I know, labor doesn't count. but if it did... [cl

It'll make your building life so much better, you'll wonder how you ever got by without one.

Yeah, I bet. just biting the bullet and spending the money !

I've got one and it isn't cnc. I cut patterns out of masonite 3/16 smaller than the part and and just cut with the tip against it. You can cut against most anything for a pattern, bent wire, straight edge, etc.So fast and clean. Money well spent.

What have I done!?

So we have purchased our 10 inch wide slot mag Wheels last year at the end of the drag racing season. They had some pretty good build up on them and I don't think they had ever been polished. So I did something I'm not sure you're supposed to do on a rat rod oh, but I actually machine polish one of them last night. I got pretty good still have some pretty deep in Perfections in it but I'm not going to worry about that
