You always need your head "in the zone" when bending tubes, it can be easy but at the same time impossible. Things we don't do everyday, especially bending tubing, can easily overwhelm our brains, and tubing is expensive. Having said that, you're doing a really nice job. I'm still debating my cage design in my head (and on paper) so it's nice to watch you and the Binder Builder start your cages ahead of me...giving me ideas and motivation!
Yes. I gave it some serious brain power and still messed it up. Make sure when you go for it to do your own research and commit to the design and materials. I kinda wish you were going before me 😂
Watched every video so far, about to begin my j series vw bug this winter, and this series just may have given me the confidence to build my roll cage. Keep them coming !!
Awesome! That’s exactly why I do it! I make mistakes, you will make mistakes. As long as we learn from them. Good luck brother. My messages are always open on IG
Awesome work man...can't wait to see the progression of this build. Quick tip, I used to use PVC pipe as a template for cages. PVC pipes are cheap and can easily be bent by hand on the fly inside the car with a heat gun or cut and spliced at every point so you have a finished piece to mark out your bend points before you bend your steel. Keep up the great work man!!!
Thanks so much for the tip. I considered do that. Probably would have saved me from messing up that tube. I used that method on my front tubes but had a hard time matching the bend radius. Regardless would have been beneficial for the cage work. Thanks for watching
Looking good, I love the inside-outside the box cage!
lol thanks. That’s a good description.
You’re killin’ it brother! As always, great work! Oh, and thank you for the mention!
No problem! Thank you
Cage bending is a learned skill. You're doing great Miah. Keep it going!
Thanks Dom. I think I got it figured out now that I did the hardest tubes lol I know real cage guys are probably cringing right now lol
Looking killer Miah!!! I can see Ill be picking your brain as well as Binder Builders when Im working on mine!! Thanks a ton!!
Of course. Happy to help anytime you have questions

@@MiahsBug your build is killer by the way!
@Milkshake_dub thanks so much!!!
Nice Job...greet from Germany
Hello my German friend! Thanks for the support!
Bending can be challenging. I know i have made multiple mistakes.
But we keep practicing and move forward
Thanks Matt. If I’m learning from mistakes it just called lessons 😂
Turn that motor 180 degrees and mount it mid engine. Send one axle to the front diff and one to a rear. Some 4 links and you got an AWD beast
That would be really cool. You go first 😂
