I picked up the car today from Ben and I took it over to my buddy Joe's house to make the main hoop. The first thing we did was measure the height and width where we are going to install the main hoop. Joe already has some pre bent tubes so we used those to check the fitment. Once we had a the mesurements Joe drew up a diagram using those measurements. We then cut a section of tube and proceeded to make the bends. After each bend we laid the main hoop down on the diagram to make sure it matched up.
This is a picture of the diagram drawn on the garage floor.
Here's one of Joe marking the tube before bending it.
Here's one after the first two bends.
I didn't get one of the finished product. I got busy and forgot to snap some but I added a red arrow so you can see where the third bend was. Same for the fourth bend but on the other side.
Here's one of Kylie and Mya helping with the cage.
I want to thank Joe for his help and the use of the tube bender. Also for giving me some pre cut 4x4 plate for the floor attachments.
I'll start prepping the floor tomorrow night and hopefully get the main hoop welded in place. I'll post more pictures of it as well.
