What kind of bender did you get? I just got another Model 3 but only use it for jeep bumpers.

YES!   You tig'd those just because you could, didn't you? 



Bender looks a bit more delicious than the harbor freight one.

really using tig for welded everything took a lot of time , i'd have prefer mig/mag welding for doing this. anyway it looks really good.

I will try to use it soon, it's a bit hard to find pipes with these sizes..
