since my car is not drive-able right now and wont be for a while.... I dont want to pay a tow truck to tow my car to a shop.. If i built it out of pcv, mock everything up and have a shop basically build it for me out of chromoly... Would that work

 

you mean pvc?

ABS would be cheaper. its the black plastic pipe.

 

just take measurements.

Yep. About 20 measurements is what you need. Making a cage out of plastic is a total waste of time.

 

Kens Kustom Chassis have weld-in kits.

 

I'd say mock it up out of some thin copper tubing from Home Depot that you can bend. PVC will get expensive if you're buying a lot of bends, plus there aren't a lot of bend options available.

Either that or post on your local forums for someone with a trailer willing to drag it around a couple of times for some $$ + beer.

 

Or you can use this and do it right the first time....



Your welcome.

PS. It's what I use.

 

thanks alot. i guess im just a more visual person lol

 

To me your trying to do a job backwards, just pay for a tow.

 

Haha before i read, i thought he wanted to Use the PVC cage as the protection..
