It was a perfect day at the Tube Bending Party in Carpenteria, Ca. The sky was blue, the temperature was in the seventies and you could hear the ocean waves breaking just a few hundred yards away. Allen brought the tube bender while Kevin and Doran provided the tubing.
I rode shotgun with Kevin from Orange County. Bobmanx and Jaymanx shared a ride from Simi Valley. Maniac Mike brought his War Stories.

Jennifer, Doran's wife, cooked a great BBQ lunch for us all and Doran's parents made sure we didn't destroy the property. As pictured in Jay's photos, we had a productive day bending some tubing. By the time we were done, both Kevin and Doran had the appropriate tubing for the roll bars on their Towds. Allen brought a jig he fabricated to curve some cage pieces for his Buggy. With a few clamps and several hundred pounds of beef, he got the curved tubes he wanted.

It was a very good day and well worth the drive from Orange County. I want to thank Kevin for inviting me along. We all learned something from Allen. Doran and Jennifer were gracious hosts. Jennifer's Buffalo Chicken was delicious. In addition to asking good questions at the right time, Bobmanx and Jaymanx behaved themselves.
Maniac, well, he was Maniac.
