Raptor frame build

[Brian5150]

Has anyone ever tried to copy and build a raptor 660/700 frame from scratch - just to see if you could do it?  I have a stripped down frame and every time I walk by it I wonder if I could bend and weld the same thing. YouTube has all kinds of frame builds for karts and buggies, but I never have seen anybody try to copy an existing frame.  Think it could be done with a good tube bender and welder?

Absolutely can be done and has been done. I believe there was someone out west (racers edge link potentially?) that had a front frame built out of titanium if I recall.
