I bought this one at Harbor Freight and it works well, it's not as nice as the one you posted though: http://www.harborfreight.com/tubing-roller-99736.html (http://www.harborfreight.com/tubing-roller-99736.html)

IKR, what are you up to? That tool makes bends with a great big radius, not the smaller radius like a conventional tube bender makes which are common to a typical chassis. Maybe an exoskeleton car with a long sweeping arch?

I used it to make the curved wing strut mounts.

sit this over the top of the side support system ,all lower tubes on the roof cage will be weld to a angle iron plate ,that sit on the fiero firewall & upper rear fiero strut lead in tubs, the 2" x 2" top bars.this is a working model for now as we get into this some items may have to change ,Oh the door hinge system will be tied into the sub-frame support.this should make the surround simple and more user friendly ,get it set, then everything line up in theory.
