Ya, I thought about that.  I'm waiting to get a tubing bender.  Man are they pricey!  I don't mind spending $299 on a bender.  Its the dies that are crazy, over $200 a piece.  I want a 1.75 and 1.5" die.  I really like marlins bumpers, but it seems like that is all you see.  I just want to build something different.  For the price he charges, you can't really go wrong.  1.5" DOM tubing .120 wall, around here cost $3.40 per foot.  If you add the price of steel and the cost of a bender and dies, I see why every goes that route.
Come down here for a day and I will help ya build some corner protection for that thing. Just bring some tube and pitch in on gas and wire and all will be good. Hell buy enough for some sliders too. I like the look of square and round mixed and for the sliders I'd go the same route, square under the rockers with some tube off of that. :thumbs:
Hug your kids, pray for a soldier, and don't sweat the small stuff.
