pretty much just me picturing it in my head holding up a finger for every 5' i thought i'd need then adding it all together on the same thought train. There will be very poor planning and a lot of flying by the seat of my pants. I'll need two fire extingushers for the flaming, one for the fact i'm using erw, and two for my no fucks given approach to building it a stick at a time using more of my eye to measure than an actual square table and tape measure.
make that 3 extingushers. Im goign to flux core most of it lol. Pretty much casue my cwi said i had the same level of pentration as the tig sample and because its WAY easier
used a carbide die grinder to perfectly match the die to the pipe. Its a pipe size die but it wasnt a nice fit. It was high in seat and would oval the pipe that lead to the kinking. Once i fit the die to the pipe it worked much better. I can probably get even better results if the pipe wasnt freezing cold too.
im extangerating a little with this sketch but you can see where it was high, once i ground that out, the die made a good 170° or so of contact and stopped the kinking
i could probably throw some weld on the inside sides of the die to keep the pipe from ovaling at all, that should make a much more "mandrel" type bend but then i'd probably have to beat the die off the pipe after each bend. Its not bad enough to go there yet.

After seeing your thread mounting gas pedal, I put a lot of thought into how I was gonna try and mount mine easily. Figured on this why fix what ain't broke
It'll be welded in between 3/4" pipe andshould actually be stiffer than the angle frame version. I was having a hard time welding the forester sheet metal. it was too thin, would burn away before i got any penetration into the angle

This is mostly the progress of my srp 2001 L coupe, but also some 98L and 2018 brz stuff.
Backstory:
I got the car in August 2011 with 100,500 miles. It was my first car, and it had lots of problems at the start. Almost sold it a few times, but once I read about all the swap stuff, I...
The next phase for my car is a Aegean Blue 96 Impreza L Coupe. I have swapped shells over from my 95L getting ready for the carbon Aerosim kit(I couldn't bring myself to install the carbon kit on a salvaged title car).
