The build is now beginning

What are you using to bend the tubes for your roll cage ... pics would be nice !
 
What is Air over Hydraulic look like ?

Sure would like to see a video of your setup or maybe several pics as you bend a tube ! Most
of us have not seen the process for making a roll cage.

The long ram cyclendar has a hooks up to an air compressor and will bend a 90deg bend in about 3-4 min. I will take pics or a video next time I use it
 
I bought a manual pump hydraulic bender. It works ok, I haven’t used it enough to learn its pros and cons. I bought it to create a three point hitch conversion for a old AC tractor. It paid for itself on that one operation. It is easy to kink tube. I’ve had guys tell me to use sand to combat it, but no experience doing so.

Do you think one could drive a wooden plug in one end of tube, fill with sand, then plug the other end with wood? Well, I know you could do that, but do you think it would work for the non kinking?
 
That's some very nice fabrication skills that you have !!!

How do you get the body on over the roll cage?
 
OH NO! The old build a boat in the basement syndrome! Built and no way to get it out! Lol
I built a killer go cart in my bedroom one Winter. I was Thirteen. My mom and dad separated and I couldn’t retrieve it. I finally convinced them to let me tear it apart enough to get it out. I was crushed!
