I use a vise and what ever I have lying around. I started using a K&S Bender on a couple easy spots to see how it worked. Most of these bends are too complex for it though

So I finally got my bender aka. Sobin3d to do some work.... I tried and screwed it all up, so I decided that i do not need to be doing tube work! here is some pics. The roof is now bent up, it looks like a spider type thing. That's all the farther we got yesterday. THANKS SLOBIN3D!!!!! |
