Jason J, Daniel, and I went to the scrap yard over in Columbus yesterday and bought 220 ft of tubing, some 1.75", 1.5", and 1.25". Im gonna get started on my cage this week I believe, and maybe a front stinger. Robs gonna let me use his bender. Hey Rob, what times are the best for me to come out to your place, b/c Im not sure how long its gonna take to get this done. I might be working during the day next week, but Im not sure yet. I cant work on it past 5 pm though. I was thinking I may bend all the pieces at your place, and then weld it together at school if I can. But if the pieces dont fit right, Id have to go back to your place to bend some more. Rob, do you have a notcher? If not, I can cut them at school too. Hey, why dont we just make it a "class project" and let your students build it so they can practice there welding so itll look good ;D.

The school is sending me to Cleveland, TN Monday and Tuesday so I will be out of pocket. I will bring my bender home tomorrow and you are welcome to take it with you as it is portable. Otherwise, Wednesday and Thursday we could set my stick welder and everything up in my garage and work on it for a while in the evenings. Friday we are leaving for Arkansas to visit the in-laws so I will be out of pocket for a week or so there till after Christmas. Whatever works out best for you we'll do. Have you got the plans laid out to build the ramp? I do not have a notcher, but I have a torch that will notch.

there is a place in mathiston, that antique place on the right, right before you get to the trace overpass. They have had a roll bar (looks like a jeep) sitting out there for a while. I have been meaning to stop to see what it is.
