My buddy is making me a tuber chassi out of some 3/8's brake line. Nothing special but he had an awsome idea on a bender that makes differant radias bends and very nicely. check out these pics

So what do you think so far. First one i have done. Turned out good.I need to clean the joints up but ill do that after i finish it.
 
Its 20 inches from the tip of the stinger to the rear of the cage and 8 inches wide and 5 3/4 tall.Its pretty strong. I weight 200 and stood on it and it held me up.

How much does it weigh? Any reason other than that for going with brake line versus solid rod? Rather, if I were to build one is solid rod going to make it way too heavy?:corn:

Its seems really light. Its also strong seeings how I can stand on it and it doesnt brake.

I'm just thinking it'd be easier to weld up with solid rod.


Go for it. It will be alot heavier. I used brake line cause thats what jesse brought over.It will work just fine.
