[Garage Dog 65]

Tube bender setup and tuned. Works like a champ ! I got some 11 and 14 gauge EW tube (my DOM .125 won't be in until Monday, bummer) and ran tests to see what kinda bends it could produce. Pretty nice - just a very slight drop on the inside of the bend (about a 16th) but the rest looked good. It takes about 2 minutes to bend a 90 degree. I'll do a test on the .125 to see how that goes - but I don't expect anything different.

Jeff, I recommend the bender for this level of work. PS, I checked your site the other day and cracked up with the President pic and quote - and it's nice to see your TVR coming together !

Rodger, I sure could use your shop full of people and tools - you are a lucky guy !! I'm still waiting to see that truck painted !!

SteveMcQ, I totally understand your statement and beleive me it was hard to cut it up and do something radical like this to a breed of cars that I REALLY like. I have been a 356 fanatic for many years and I can only hope I do it justice. My plan is to use as much Porsche stuff that I can and be as close to the original look as possible. Thanks for your comments sir.
