    Yeah. That damn trans tube is gonna be PITA though. I'll try using the F series tube first.... I know one trick is to fill the tube with sand and you can bend it without it breaking to some extent.
    I don't have to bend it a ridiculous amount, but I do know that I'll be testing the limits of that thin wall tubing for sure.

    Other than being little is it an odd size? Im sure someone has dies for bending hollow tubing. Ornamental iron place maybe?

    I'm not going to borrow or buy tubing benders, I'll make that or the van tube work somehow. I did order a shit ton of dynamat for the floor and other places, and the padding for the under the hood a minute ago. I've already done the doors and the firewall inside and on the front of the tunnel. It's really good shit.

    Lending / borrowing things is sort of a joke here. Search for the chainsaw thread
