Tool and equipment question for my new shop

[weston]

I am just getting started in the world of pro touring car building and I have many many many questions, but this thread is about shop equipment. I'm just at the age to get out on my own. I work out of town about 80% of the time and when I am in all I want to do is work on my 69 Camaro. I built a shop with apartment on one end and I need some tools and equipment. I'm on a budget after building my shop/house so I'm wanting to ask about some cheap starter tools. I'm thinking about the Eastwood mig, tig, and plasma cutter. Has anyone used the Eastwood products? They are much cheaper than Lincoln or Miller but like I said I'm just starting. Also, what is a good manual or hydraulic pipe bender that's not too expensive? I want to build my own cage. Thanks for any help
