it's easier to bend them kyle, but yeah just cut and weld would work.

Honda16hb

not if you don't have a pipe bender

Spenser

but a pipe bender is cheap my friend. :P

Honda16hb

friend, click the link at the top, pipe bender=$119, now go down to the hardware store and pick up a hacksaw for $10 and you're ready to rock, you don't even have to figure out where harbor freight is.

i piped bender is free man, just stick the ---- in the vice and wrench , i know hardware stores let you borrow one for a weekend for 10 bucks, you'd save so much time and welding wire with a bender.

Honda16hb

but wouldn't the bends be weaker than a solidly welded corner?

Spenser

yes, so you just double up on the bends , but serously, have you seen roll cages in civics/crxs? they don't have that many bends, like maybe 4 or 6 bends total, so i'd be more worried about what size pipe to use then a bender.
here are some examples for you guys...


This car would be a bitch to get in and out everyday, notice the size of the pipe and the fancy X and triangle in the door opening, thats skill. also notice how the pipe is painted to match the A-pillar, sexy! this one was built in the car, can't take this baby out.




This is not the way to do a ------- Roll cage, I hope this one if fake and the ricer crashs and dies.


This is very ------- nuts. equiped with the nice foam, you loose you passenger seat with this one haha,but again, notice the limited amounts of bends. also, take alook at the cool video camara holder.


I count 4 bends total in the picture, again if you makje one like this you either are building a race car or you don't like road head Did you see the bar going under the dash? thats cool.


::::Edit:::: these images are hosteed on my own ----, ---- WE-todd.

---- it, I need the interior space I'm going to build the roll cage on the outside, that way my paint will be protected in case of a wreck.
