I cant find anybody by that name on here but I did find a web site that I think may be him... I got my hands on a cheap ass bender, only prob is its a pipe bender! I reworked the dies and made my DOM fit somewhat better. I did a test bend and it went ok. It did not kink the tube but did leave the outside and inside of the bend a little flattened out. Not sure if this will affect the strength of the tube or just the appearance. Any ideas on that??? There used to be a chassis fab shop near me that could bend tube but they closed up shop so I am really running out of options... If its just a matter of looks that the tube has a flat spot I really dont care but I dont want to put it together and have it be a problem later...
