My only suggestion is that unless you are a really great welder, or know
one--don't use chrome moly. It's very difficult to do right and if you do
it wrong you'll have a weaker cage than if you used mild steel.

I am about to embark on fabricating an improved roll bar for my GT6, and I
was wondering if anyone knows of a supplier with a good tube bender? Also
any and all tips or advice would be appreciated. I will be using 1.25
Chrome Molly tubing per the SCCA specs.
