[QUOTE="Naughty_Finger, post: 356985, member: 8026"] I went by Winnick today for steel to build a "jig" for my buggy and after taking two minutes to look through their rust outside covered in snow I drove another 30 minutes south to Discount Steel in Minneapolis. I love a steel place with good prices ( .50 a lb on cut offs ) AND they keep their cut offs indoors. I manged to pickup 72 feet of square tubing and some nice round plates to use as a base. It was well worth the drive. Unfortunately I have had to change my direction on the buggy. $$$$ is a HUGE deciding factor. As much as I fell in love with "Dirty Girl" which is currently being built ( there is a thread on it ) I just can't bring myself to spend the $$ on a good tube roller setup. I'm gonna make do with my bender. On the plus side I can go back to my Bend Tech Pro and use it to design the whole thing. Can't use that software if you use rolled tube. "Dirty Girl" is absolutely gorgeous ( except the GM motor.. YUCK ) but for the wheeling I do with my friends I need better visibility than a rock bouncer has, I need a 3rd seat ( baby about to show up anytime now ), and I need room for a cooler ( um.... beer? ). As much as I would like to, I can't have everything :( i'll put up pictures when I finish up the stand or "jig" which should be by next weekend. [/QUOTE]
