Re: home built tubular control arms
Best bet is to use your stockers to build a jig. That way you maintain all the stock geometry.

Re: home built tubular control arms
that some sick work lou. got a question what size rec tube did you use on that set of arms? i really like the look and the simplicity of it might steal the idea if thats ok. id like to do a set of round tube but dont have a bender yet.
