Got bored, dang scrap metal

So I am out in the garage this morning putzing around trying to convince myself that I want to sand blast the tranny that has been sitting for months to get it ready for install. Then I stubled across some spair brake line from my turbo install and the wheels started turning in my mind so out cam the map oxy torch to see how easy it was to braze. That lead to a trip to home depo for oxygen and Napa for brake line and poof there went the rest of the day.
The design was inspired by the rig Hulks petunia is based off of but mine one hell of a lot uglier and is anything but symetrical All of the tubing was bent using an eyeball for a gauge of angle and length and a cheap tube bender (ie hammer)
After 5 hours may I present the most hidious POS this side of the missisipi








Sorry for the crappy pics, light in this room sucks
I'm not sure if I will run it or not so after screwing around with possible link setups I'll know if it is worth bolting axles up

Any tips on bending two pieces of tube exactly alike with 3 odd bends?

Very carefully. Practice makes perfect ;)

Look into a tubing bender, see article on front page.

You can lay them on a piece of paper to compare. Trace or draw around them if needed. I also check angles using an angle finder. You can tweak one or the other by hand as needed to make them match.
