Have you used the arc bender yet? I was looking at that but thought trying to bend 1/8 wall steel would take a whole lot of passes.

I am talking to a friend of mine that knows the owner of a company that builds prerunner buggy's he is kind of slow right know and i might have him build me a custom front a-arm clip for the front end . I haven't had a chance to work on this car. once i get my other car back on the road we will start the build for this car. I desided to go a arm
