who sells mandrel frame rails?

^^ thats how the local rodshop here does it, thet are right next to my school shop so i see their work alot.

I had this bent up for me, then I welded it up to look cool.

ok... i thought he was saying that it's better to have a box tubing welded frame.. as in for the rises for your axle and front end.. i do agree welded frames are better in that aspect but it went way over my head.. mainly because how many minitruckers are going to build an entire frame out of flat steel?

i was aws certified, shits hard to get, except for tig.

Then you must not be a very good welder I got all of mine on the first try including the 6G pipe arc welding.

here are the frame rails that im running there 2x3 boxed and 1/4 inch thick. They came from A.R.T. (applied racing technologys). They are built for nascars so im sure there plenty strong enough.

They are 1/8 wall, same ones I was referring to.
Installed several sets myself.

how much was shipping on those a.r.t. rails

I get two rails with shipping for 235.Here is one set on a 67 chevy, minus the links and axle. Not the best pic, I knowThe round tubes to the side are for all the airline and wiring and stuff. All tig welded.

Not to be hi-jacking this thread but does anybody have any pics of a pie-cut bend framerail?
