I’m wondering if I should buy a cheap bender, and struggle to build one cage for myself, or if I should buy an expensive one and build some for others as well. ---

Well, for something you are going to potentially trust your life to, starting on your own car first sounds like maybe a risky idea. I would love to build my own if I had the resources but with the way I have “built” other stuff in the past makes me trust my life playing russian roulette with a full clip over flipping my car with a cage I made myself. You sure you think you can produce/weld in a quality one then go for it:headbang: ---

there are quality cage builders around here. one i highly recommend is jason vitez. (903-4452). he builds tight, tig welded, clean cages. he builds a damn good chassis too. ---

if you got good at it im sure you could make money but the only problem with that is how do you exactly practice making roll cages? I wouldn’t personally trust anyone that is just starting off at it. ---

i’m getting one in my civic this spring, just to stiffen the chassis… if you were competitive with pricing i’d let you weld away. ---

There are others on the board building cages now, you would have to compete with them and they already have done the work several times ---

[quote=“POOPRA,post:6,topic:37358"”] There are others on the board building cages now, you would have to compete with them and they already have done the work several times [/quote] Not only that but the liability involved in fabricating safety equipment is high. This isn’t the sort of thing I’d do for anyone that wasn’t a very trusted and long time friend.
