For the chassis builders out there, do you use the math, or just wing it when it comes to bending the main hoop? Thanks. Jeff 69 GTX 68 Road Runner

Just got done bending my main hoop for my RoadRunner, and it turned out better then planned. I'd be lost without that site. Now to tackle the frame rails, cage, and K member... Thanks again. Jeff
