Any of you Dallas guys know of a place to have some rectangular tubing bent? Got some 2x3 tubing that needs some bending!!

Thanks!

How does it need to be bent? What shape and all.

Hey Bobby,

I am building a new frame for my project, so I need several bends performed in the tubing. Know of any places?

I can't think of any off hand. I just thought if it could be cut and welded to make the bend you needed, then I could do that for you.

Art Morrison will bend it for you, but they typically use their stuff and send it to you from what I understand. You just have to tell them how/where you want it bent.

bob: thought about the cut/weld route, but i would prefer to bend, if even just to save some time from welding.

captkaos: that's not a bad idea, hadn't thought about them, but I have already secured my metal stock at a great price......that and shipping would kill my cost-savings! thanks though!!

You might can give them a call and see. I just know of several people that are going through them for framerails.
