I'd be happy to take a drive down your way - I'll PM you and we can coordinate.

If all falls through, or one of you other guys needs one for a roller, I also have a tube laying around. Should anyone need it, let me know.

Seems like you have options closer to you than SoFL. If those don't pan out I'll be happy to ship.

Thanks a ton to everyone that offered to help! As fate would have it, I got a torsion tube today quite randomly... I was at Hanksville Hot Rods in Highlands Ranch getting some exhaust work done on my Jeep CJ7 and I walked by this little guy...



So I jokingly asked Hank if he'd take $50 for the torsion tube as we walked by it. He said "sure - come pull it out and it's yours!"

So I did... 30 minutes and a pressure wash later, here she is!



Turns out Hank has built 80+ roll cages for SPEC 944 race cars and this '88 944 shell is his jig. He ships them all over the place.

Just wanted to throw out a huge recommendation for his shop for any of you looking for tube work for your cars. Super nice guy and they do some incredible work. Check out his website: http://www.hanksvillehotrods.com/

Thanks again, and I'll post more when I get to pulling the old stuff out!
