In keeping with Johns Scrub comments .People who see the car are going to ask tons of questions and the most common one is why a Y block. My response would be the name of the car Y Not.

Todays work has a roll cage on the car, we're getting closer! 
It's amazing the amount of time it takes to cut, bend, notch, fit and weld these few pieces.

Now you know...  But it's also nice to discover what own hands can do.

My friend who has the shop where we are building the car has this, use to be manual but he made it hydrolic.

Oh, cool. I was just looking at something like that in the Summit catalog. Do the bends come out as good as they look in the pictures - minimal squishing of the pipe?

I don't think it's as simple as it looks, like any machine you find the quirks in it after you use it a bit and compensate. My friend does a nice job but has messed up a couple of bends on this project alone and he has been using the bender for 20 years or more. it's all in how you hold your tongue.
