Murci G28 build "Chaos"

[usmc_butler]

I bought the bender from Harbor Freight a while back also.
Are you using all round stock for your sypport frame ans dis.you buy the seperate square die set?

Can you please tell me what size.tubing you are using?

HOW did you determine the length to get the framework to.mount to your main body?  I have my body upside down and intend to 'bend and try until it fits'
but how did you dtermine where/how to.mate this.all to.the main frame/chassi
thank you!

I am using several different size tubing, all is square no round. I am using tubing anywhere form 1/4" to 1"x2" 2x2" just whatever is strongest for the area it needs (most all of this is in my build thread). There is many ways to do your frame work, you can have your body off and upside down like you are doing or put the body on your car and make all the bracing and tach weld it in place. Then pull the body off finish welding then mount the body for the last time and make structural bracing as needed. In regard to this, "HOW did you determine the length to get the framework to.mount to your main body?" keep bending it till it fits all areas?, when you purchase it make sure you get plenty? Im not really sure how to answer the question...

Bottom line make sure it is safe and you put enough metal keep the body from moving, Weld it GOOD. You don't want to get into an accident and have a 1/4 pice of tubing impale you. I am over building my car and I have had may people tell me that I am over building my car. The way I look at it is, I decided to build my Lamborghini for looks not so much for performance. I want to be able to drive it feel safe and still run decent. If I wanted performance I would have kept my Viper or bought a supercharged Z06 or something.

I also purchased one of these also from Harbor Freight. To properly bend your tubing to the correct contour of the inside of the bumper, hood, interior, etc. you will have to have something like this.

I have had several PM's and emails asking how I bend my tubing and I use this, pipe bender and heat & hammer

how did you mount that radiator in the front? looks like you reversed the fan,hows that working for you?

Actually I have 2 rear mounted radiators in the rear with SPAL electric fans that seem to keep the car plenty cool. The front fan that you see is over the air conditioner condenser

  I still haven't mastered my molding process but the parts are getting better each time. Soon I will offer them at an affordable price. A huge thanks goes to Dustin for scoring a OE handle and allowing me to replicate it.
