Where can I get mandrel bent rails?

if i had a mini i would definately pick up some of the ones from summit that comp engineering makes eventho they look like there not mandrel bent.

the ones from applied race will lay on up to a 24, they are .125 wall, the bends are smooth and wrinkle free, and they are only 99.50 each rail. they work great on minis, fullsizes, re-do jobs, and ground up projects. they also offer front rails for the same price, but they dont have a curve inward, to allow for a widening of the frame at the firewall. They will work, but it requires a little rework and planning. They have a complete frame with mustang 2 suspension mounts, all mandrel bent, you weld it up, for 750. or so. the only problem then is that it is 2x3x.125. I would plate it with .25 plate, and add a few x members. the other company I referred to offers 2x3 and 2x4 rails, both in .125 wall, with options of mustang 2, camaro, and s10 front suspensions, as well as the option to design your own.

Thanks guys for all the info! The rear frame rails from applied race look like the way to go.

Art Morrison is the way I went and can't complain.

dont let andy fool you, he did those in his harbor freight pipe bender......

Yeah, I heard that KRZ sold their stuff to BHC in Fresno, CA. I think they're located on Polk and Hwy. 99...Good luck with the build and keep us posted on the progress. Regards, 2NDXRND

I got my complete frame from Cris Alton Chassis Works. Just have to cut to size and weld up. Sure is looking nice. Good luck.

Don't be hatin just because Chuck Norris personally helped ME bend them over his knee. Most people would be surprised at what you can do with Chuck's knee and some high quality nunchucks.

Ok if you can just the mandrel-bent rail kit sub-frame kit is $2,650. That comes with two lower link and a upper wishbone, a wishbone crossmember and all the laser brackets. A 3/4 mandrel-bent rail kit is $3,500 that all the same with the sub-frame kit plus body mounts and inn rails and a tranny X member. A Full mandrel-bent frame kit is $6,000 all the same but comes with lower and upper control arms. For $200 more you can get the back rail that bender which makes it much smoother look. Look in my profile on the white single cab and thats a sub-frame with the upgraded back. And also thats all welded up. Any questions just hit me up.
