awesome work.
i know how hard it is sometimes to bend two peices and have them turn out symetrical but those bends look awesome.!
lunch the front and rear bumpers and the sliders!
do shoes have the degree wheel for your bender?

I used a friends protool air hydro it does have the deg wheel but I don't use it I just eyeball every thing and with a coathanger it works out, meow I like the JD3 manual bender better I learned to count the pulls and use the coathanger and eye ball it from a friend who was building and racing Baja trucks.

we just use the manual pro tools bender.
we mainly count pulls and use a squangle or a square or some thing . or just eyeball it

Try a wire coathanger and bend it the way shoes want your tube bend to be
