Build A Carson Top
Guildner doesn’t recommend doing any major bending with your knee because you risk kinking the tubing. Here he’s working a little loft into one of the loops that make up the rearward section of the roof. He began with a piece a few feet wider than the roof, and started bending one end (with the pipe bender), test-fitting as he went. Once the shape was pretty close at one end, he found the center (in relation to the car) and marked it on the bar. He made an outline of the bend on the concrete with some chalk, transfering the center mark to concrete as well. By flipping the tube end-for-end and lining it up at the center he was able to form the opposite bend to keep the roof symmetrical.
