Barracuda tubing kits
« on: July 16, 2009, 09:50:04 PM »
Does anyone offer Barracuda tubing kits?   I have been waiting for my local fabrication shop to bend up the tubing I gave him almost two months ago.  He has still not gotten it started.  I about to scrap that and do something else if I can not get it done soon.

Ill be willing to do it. I can bend it upin the next week or 2. You are only after the bent parts right? Wish I knew a few weeks ago. I have 5 sitting in the garage being worked on now. I could have done it all in the same set up. I custom made all my own bend dies to get the radiuses correct and have done a # of them so have plenty of practice.

I shipped all the bent tubing to Oklahoma a couple years ago for $100

Where are you located?

I recommend that you buy the material to finish it off locally in lengths. Shipping a bunch of pre cut tube can get expensive.

I live in PA.   I too wish I knew I would had this problem.  I had bought all the steel and he wanted test pieces to bend.  I rushed to get everything cut and over to his place a day after I picked up tubing. It has been sitting ever since.


In his defense. He does run a full service garage and machine shop. On the weekends he races (drag strip).

I agree DSrace.  Everything I have gotten from Doug has been first rate!  He is an asset to the people like me.
