Interested?

Hello everyone... I am in the middle of a decision and maybe some interest here will help me make it.

I have access to 1 1/2 by .098 X 6 foot long for 9.99 each.


A local shop is selling its benders and I am thinking about buying them. If I were to buy these benders...would anyone be interested in having a cage...roll bar...basically anything you want put into your car. I am pretty much in a central location just off I-75. 30 minutes North of Atlanta 1 1/2 hour south of Chattanoga.

I have no use for a cage but If you have the cash then the bender should pay for its self easy, or be worth the same amount when you want to sale them.

6 foot long pieces will not go far when building cages.

Be carfull of cheap benders.

Is this a commercial bender or a small hydraulic jack bender?

There is a gentleman who has been building cages for as long as I can remember here in Atlanta...and he has just gotten too old to do it....It is a commercial bender. I watched him bend some steel the other day. Its in good working order.

Bwaits... two 12 foot pieces and 4 6 foot will build you an SCCA legal cage.

Sounds like you know about this trade, but I was thinking that if the seller would work with you - send you his customers, etc., etc., that would be a helpful jump start for you.
Good Luck if you do it. Lots of 4x4 applications out there too for this.

Don't take my post the wrong way. I forgot the put the smiley after the 6 foot part.

Good luck with your endeavor.
